Any safety devices on these? I would hate to have one go off inside a sub.

If your liveaboard is going to do international traveling and stops in other
countries be very careful. Almost all countries don't appreciate Americans
with their guns. The rules vary to you report guns to the port authority,
you take them to the port authority for lock up, they seize them for good,
the seize your boat (errr sub), they seize all the above and you go to 
prison, and in the worst cases like China or Taiwan, you die.
