That is way cool! It's interesting to see how quickly the bullet decelerates!

Neat! It ejects the empty just fine too.

Be interesting to see if it causes any barrel issues (bulges, etc).

Very possible that the bullet (or gas leaking around the rifling) pushes the water out fast enough that the water does not create an obstruction.

Very, very cool video. Would love to see it slowed down even further. The 1 sec to 2 sec jump just doesn't give enough resolution to really see if a gas bulge comes out before the slug.

I was amazed how fast it slowed down, too! I would have expected at least 8 - 10 feet of travel.

Thanks for posting!

Cheers,

Sirhr

I saw something similer on G&A TV. It bulged the barrel on a 1911 after 5 shots and after the 6th it wouldn't function anymore and was jammed half open beyond repair.

Supposedly it works best and without destroying the barrel after being fully submerged and all air pockets/bubbles out so that the pressure is equalized.

So is there enough velocity at the muzzle to potentially be lethal? If not, then who cares about a weapon's ability to shoot under water?

Me thinks someone is going to jail for using a pool as a silencer/suppressor.....check with the ATF, I am sure that this would meet a legal description..........
