“Officials said it looked like a scene “out of a Hollywood movie.”
Few rifle bullets survive intact after traveling through six feet of water. Few handgun bullets have any punch left after six feet of water.
A grenade might work.
The mechanism on the gun sounds like a M2 .50 cal.
“””Few rifle bullets survive intact after traveling through six feet of water. Few handgun bullets have any punch left after six feet of water.”””
I watched one of those Myth Busters type shows a few years ago. They shot various rounds into a swimming pool. Not much power at all after two feet.
Unlike in the movies where you can shoot a pistol while you are underwater.
ummm....not true. Forensic labs have long used water traps to recover undamaged bullets fired from suspects weapons for comparison to bullets recovered from victims and the crime scene. Currently there mediums that perform equally well in less space and without the higher maintenance cost of water traps.
