Would you fire a weapon at yourself in the name of Science? Why do that when there are so MANY imbecile dems just begging for it?

THIS GUY DID!
The Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.
When his .38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended
victim during a hold-up in Long Beach , California would-be
robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder.
He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again.
This time it worked.

Saw the Mythbusters episode on weapons and water.
It was amazing how water dissipated he force of bullets going into the water. In just a few feet even with the big guns they (and we) love so much.

Subsonic bullets penetrate further
Navy cavitating darts can go about 2000 ft/s underwater

Would you fire a weapon at yourself in the name of Science? No, but I can think of a few AGW "advocates" that should do it in the name of REAL science.

If the bullet won't get you underwater, the fist will.

Already saw the effect and limiting factors of water on projectiles on MythBusters years and years ago, so I’m betting this guy had access to plenty of previous research to know he was putting on a dog and pony show.

No I would not.
With that said, what the professor did was a physics demonstratio, not an experiment.

Myth Busters did a show on this with numerous firearms including a .50 cal. Oddly enough, the lower caliber firearms had deeper water penetration than the .50

Good experiment, great video documentation, stupid and dangerous grandstanding.
You can calculate all you want, and prove it mathematically that you will not be hit, but I would still not stand in front of it.
There ARE people dead for pulling such stunts.

Sure. If I was standing with a thousand miles of water between me and the gun. Anything shorter, no.

I have this torpedo-shaped toy in my swimming pool
When you throw it underwater, it easily crosses to the other side of the pool as if it has no resistance.
Does anyone here know anything about that?
If I bullet was shaped that way would it travel further underwater?
