Yesterday I blogged a video of an AR-15 being fired underwater. This fascinating video shows the infamous APS underwater assault rifle and SPP-1 underwater pistol being fired in a pond.
[ Many thanks to David for posting the link. ]

0This is an old cold war era weapon developed in the 70′s to defend soviet seaports against attack from frogmen. This isn’t something to fight the taliban with. :-p
0 0this is a old new. this vid is from end of 1990s
now Russia has new “ADS” dual-environment assault rifle which is much superior
0 0I remember, many, many years ago when I was a young lad, watching an episode of “Sea Hunt” (how many of you remember that one?) where Lloyd Bridges was running some tests firing a revolver underwater. My memory is that it worked OK, with a severely reduced range. I seem to recall him swimming a few strokes downrange and picking the spent bullets off the sand. He was probably using a S&W .38 Special. That’s one of the very few specific memories about that show I retain.
0 0There is a Western counterpart. The HK P11.

Are you saying Jar Jar Binks is a terrorist?!?!

0 0Iran: WE WILL BOMB YOUR COUNTRY AMERICA!!!
America: WE WILL BOMB YOU BACK!!
Russia: Yeah, well, WE WILL SHOOT YOU UNDERWATER!
0 0Just as we thought the Cold War was over, another arms race begins! I’ll bet the Pentagon has issued a contract to study how to develop our own version.
0 0But aside from torpedos, what weapon works underwater? I can see a use for this.
0 0so can any one translate?
0 0This is big news, now we can finally engage terrorists in their favorite hiding place, underwater. Serious waste of time and money…
