Glocks fire underwater?

Liquids don't compress, can't take the square root of a negative number, water always flows downhill, liberals are the enlightened ones....."Truthes" most of us are taught when young to make our lives easier
:confused: ;)

Did that submarine Glock use full-pressure loads? Water being a tad "thicker" than air, I would think it would be a little like shooting a .45 slug through a .40 hole.

Don't think I'd try this one at home....
 
They make industrial diamonds by compressing solid carbon...

So, yes, solids are compressible. As is H2O. Big thing is neither compress a whole helluva lot. Call it a BCH x 10^-19230871298471239847....
 
I once saw on the Discovery Channel, an episode on abalone fisherman/divers/hunters. They work in deep, murky water. Apparently they have a shark problem as well. I seem to recall it was Great Whites.

This particular diver carried a Glock 20, I assume it was equipped with the Maritime spring cups, all they said was that it had been rigged to fire underwater. They mentioned that since both visibility and the pistols range were around 15 feet, a shark encounter was still pretty risky, due to reaction time.

The diver carried the pistol in a flapped pocket on his dry suit thigh. Not very accessible and really making things even worse.

Hope this helps the thread along!:D

Water must be compressable or...

else you couldn't hear sound under water. Sound, after all, is merely alternating waves of energy (in the form of compressed/uncompressed media). You can compress solids too, just not as much as gas.
 
Water is truly compressible but it is on molecular level. It's simple physics, Pressure=density of material x constant g=9.81 x height or depth. The hieght or depth in this equation fluctuates the Pressure up or down, with a smaller pressure molecules a farther apart and with a larger pressure molecules are packed tighter and tighter to a certain point, thus compressed.
At the bottom of the ocean the molecules are forced tightly together by the pressure of the water above and the constriction of land so the pressure of water at this depth is much greater.
Causing compression on the molecular level.
