Thread: How well do bullets swim?

the US NAVY actually had underwater 9mm rounds for shooting underwater used in MAC 10 submachine guns during vietnam war.

when i was a kid we used a 1/4 stick of dynamite for fishing.......the stunned fish would rise to the top and we'd net them. don't think that's permissible today! lol

I had a gold claim for a number of years... judging by the sheer qty of lead buck shot and bullets I collected... I can attest that Bullets cannot swim... they drown... quickly.

Indeed, They banned kids from being able to use dynamite. It does not fit with their bubble wrap policies now.

That is also how "shooting" fish works. It is not the bullet hitting the fish that stops it. It is the shock wave in the water created when the bullet expends ALL of its energy in the few inches of water that makes a hydraulic impact on anything nearby...
