... Was watching "HunterKiller", a submarine movie. The Russkies shot one of our guys that was quite a ways under water. Mythbusters featured water penetration of fired bullets. Not sure why as it wasn't a myth... Col. Hatcher published his findings on same topic long ago in his "Hatcher's Notebook". Anyhow, my pool 💦 is deep enough to save me from strafing MIGs - ML

billsnearly Too shallow an angle and the bullet will ricochet. It travels about 8" above the water surface and can travel across the lake.
sandy__mitchell Wow thats very interesting 🤔

We like "mining" where the piles were after they melt.
jeeparoni It was a special episode, as they were busting movie magic things. I can't remember what else they "busted" but I remember it being an interesting episode.
thirtythree_three If you haven't seen the movie with Charlie Sheen, then that's why you don't know it is a myth. Just watch the last 20 minutes

_davidmatthew_ Same shit in Saving Private Ryan.
kaiulll Pretty cool. I have seen a guy shoot a Glock underwater in his pool and the bullet lost all velocity within 3 feet. Dont try this at home! You need special modifications or else your glock will blow up! Also I think the only AR that can shoot underwater is a 416OTB.
spdl35 Its all good and well, till the Russians pull out their APS's and SPP-1's, then your gonna get ventilated by some big ass underwater FMJ darts. 😵

fast507 Are strafing MiG's a problem in your neighborhood? Shit. Around here, I just have to shotgun the occasional drone. Your neighborhood sounds way cooler.
metz.111 You should look into the xcav underwater rounds. Some company named DSG out of norway produced these crazy bullets that form a gas bubble around them that can carry energy through like 60m of water. The ballistics gel testing is absolutely horrifying to watch
robby.baldridge Didn't they have catastrophic fragmentation on almost every supersonic round in a later episode when firing into a pool at an angle?
thedollarsportsman This makes The Italian Job so much more tragic

- vine_matt @83gmck2500 LOL, almost put it on the list. The movie is bad, but the portrait of personalities is spot on. On our boat a mechanic had horrible gas that could literally clear a room, the electricians would play "who can take the highest voltage" from a crank Meg-ohmmeter and the Sonar guys well, let's just say they are a special breed. 1 like
