If you ever find yourself in a gun battle underwater, the S&W M&P is clearly the handgun to have. :image035:

Glocks been there, done that long ago.
somewhere on the 'need-to-know' scale there is a place for this.....
Can't say I have ever felt the need to do that but interesting none the less.
I wonder how far the bullet traveled in the water. I'm also curious how this would affect the gun long-term, as far as rust.

at least 2 feet. :biggrin2:
The water will affect it the same as being in a heavy rain,after duck hunting I use to spray every crevice with WD40,it will repel water,also IIRC do not shoot a gun while submerged underwater without ear protection,or you will find it inherently painfull and can permanently damage your hearingQuote:

I'm glad I stumbled across this. When I wake up in the morning I'm constantly debating whether I should carry one of my M&Ps or my G19. Now I know if I'm going swimming what gun I should carry. Thanks for the post.:image035:
Good to know.
That'll make all those large snapping turtles much easier to kill. Rather than just using the Bowie knife to stick em, a shot with the .45 will be easier on the fingers.
2 feet? Wow. That is surprising being that ballistics gel should be thicker than water (I would think) and usually goes further than that. Also I've seen videos with 1-gallon jugs stacked together and seen .380 penetrate 5 or 6 jugs. That is more than 2 feet of water.Quote:

On the other hand, I was reading an article the other day about shooting a bullet on the moon. Since there is no air and very little gravity, it will go a very long way. With a high-velocity round you might even be able to get it into orbit.
