can a gun that's been under water shoot?

Is a frogs arse water tight?



This is my special GLOCK G-19 that has been modified to do so. Features include Marine firing pin cups, Ghost Edge 3.5# disconnector, 6# trigger return spring (HD) and Meprolite night sights.


It will most certainly fire under water...........

You know the ones-somebody lands underwater for some reason holding a gun. Then rises to the surface and starts shooting. Is that possible? Will a wet gun fire?

It as amazing how many read this as firing UNDER water, but to answer your question, yes it can be fired, if you watch, they will lift the weapon out of the water with the muzzle tilted down to allow water to drain out, once the water is out, it can be fired. If they did not drain the water and fired, water is not compressiable, and steel will yield and it will blow up.

For "normal" weapons. A modified Glock can dump the whole magazine completely submerged. Not just "a magazine"....a Glock G-18 33 round. No malfunctions.....


Post #2 has had the same modifications done to it. They failed to mention them both on the YouTube uploaders end and the person who posted the video. And NO...it's not dangerous. It's designed to do it safely and reliably each and every time.

One of the most hilarious threads ever on CD and there have been some doozies.
