American Shooting Journal: Underwater Guns

    If you previously watched on how water can deflect bullets in the D-Day post last week, one should know that merely a few feet of water is enough to slow a conventional bullet down from lethal to an annoying bump.

    Both the Americans and Russians have been working on underwater guns for some time, having gone through multiple iterations. In the first of a series of articles focusing on these contraptions, American Shooting Journal looks at the latest handguns, including the H&K P11 (you did know that H&K made an electrically fired underwater handgun, right?)PHOTO-3-Heckler-and-Koch-P11-Underwater-Pistol-1024x433
