Yes. But it's not easy. Bullets slow down in the air because of air resistance. The resistance in the water is much greater. I'd feel pretty protected by two or three feet underwater. Six feet under you're pretty safe. I can still swim about 30 meters underwater.I used to be able to swim upwards of twice that.ating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Sorry M&T, bullets can't travel far under water, on the other hand they don't stop when they hit the water, but they do very soon afterwards.

Because of the great resistance of the water compared to air, and the small mass of a bullet it would be unlikely to kill anyone unless they were only inches under the surface. A lot depends on the type of gun, size of the bullet and it's shape, also at the angle it hits the water.ating Newest Oldest.

It’s interesting to see that the bullet does not travel very far underwater. The hollow point bullets also appear to blossom, almost turning inside out. Andrew remarks that the pressure underwater from the blast feels like someone is punching you in you chest.He also said he fully inspected each handgun and did not detect any damage.ndrew recently shot some handguns underwater and captured the results using a Pentax WG-2, a waterproof digital camera capable of taking basic high speed videos (which can be seen below).

The shape of these bullets causes a bubble of gas—water vapor—to be generated and trapped around them while underwater. This bubble has far less drag on it than water against metal, and with just the point of the bullet in contact with water, they can travel through a lot more water than your run of the mill softpoint.hese individually-machined bullets can travel many times farther through water than conventional bullets via supercavitation. Their first design is a very long, hollow and heeled .308-inch diameter bullet for .308 Winchester cartridges.

The Slow Mo Guys, Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy, seized our attention last summer by filming a watermelon exploding after it had been strangled by rubber bands. Now the lads are tracking bullets fired underwater in super-slow motion.Naturally. Watch above as two types of handguns are discharged in a swimming pool. As captured by a camera that can be slowed to 27,000 frames per second, the bubbly shockwave effect is pretty cool.he Slow Mo Guys, Gavin Free and Daniel Gruchy, seized our attention last summer by filming a watermelon exploding after it had been strangled by rubber bands.

1/27/12 | by John Paul Jarvis. When discharged underwater, a standard 9mm pistol has a lethal distance of under one yard (depending on the depth of the water) and, knowing gun people (and we’d like to think we do), a wee limitation like this to man’s ability to shoot a gun, simply would not stand.he major challenges in the production of a viable underwater weapon was how to engineer a projectile that a) could be fired accurately without water pressure having a significant influence on the path of the “bullet” and b) would retain its stopping power in deeper water.

Among the many engineering challenges in designing underwater firearms is that of developing a weapon which can be effective in both underwater and out-of-water applications. The ASM-DT amphibious rifle is an early example of such a weapon.n underwater firearm is a firearm specially designed for use in an underwater environment. They are found in the arms inventories of many nations.

Mythbusters did an episode on this and found that yes, a bullet fired into the air at a non-vertical angle (i.e. not equal to 90 degrees) can maintain its spin and high speed and can injure someone. Source: Mythbusters results-Episode 50: Bullets Fired Up.share | improve this answer.edited Aug 5 '12 at 23:26. bullet traveling at only 150 feet per second (46 m/s) to 170 feet per second (52 m/s) can easily penetrate human skin and at 200 feet per second (60 m/s), that same bullet can penetrate the skull. Even a bullet that does not penetrate the skull may still result in an intracranial injury.

1 In California, discharging a firearm into the air is a felony punishable by three years in state prison. 2  If the stray bullet kills someone, the shooter can be charged with murder. 3  In Minnesota, it is illegal to discharge a firearm over a cemetery, or at or in a public transit vehicle.elebratory gunfire (also called aerial firing or happy fire) is the shooting of a firearm into the air in celebration. It is culturally accepted in parts of the Balkans, the Middle East, the Central Asian region of Afghanistan, the South Asian regions of Pakistan and Northern India as well as Latin American regions.
