Not sure about your numbers but you are correct. I'd imagine you could stop somebodies heart using an airsoft battery if you set it up in a manner that the current passed through the heart. THOUGH the likelyhood of anything more than a slight tingly feeling if in the water with a battery is minimal at best.
Main reason to not submerge the battery is that doing so will make the battery very useless very fast.
EDIT: just remembered an important quote I read when learning about batteries (from AAA to car batteries) "Voltage hurts but Amperage kills"
