I thought I knew the answer to this one, but in recent months I have seen several references that cause me to wonder. Not that I put much stock in any of the questionable shooting techniques hollywood employs in some of their action flicks, but there have been several films lately that have either shown a character firing away underwater (LW4) or made some reference to it, as Tommy Lee Jones did in U.S. Marshalls when he touted the extreme dependability of Glocks, even to the point of being able to fire underwater.
I have seen some references to this capability in some gun magazines, often associated with special ops like Navy SEALS.
When the Army trained me many years ago, my drill instructors made it very clear that pulling the trigger on a firearm with water in the barrel would be disastrous. So what gives? Have I just not kept up with the latest developments, or is all this underwater bang-bang just a lot of (sea) horse-****?
