It turns out an FMJ 5.56mm round travels four feet underwater before running out of steam.

That's what I was thinking of... don't know how much better it would work underwater though.
I think all that would accomplish is preventing the barrel from being ruptured? Other than that the projectile would probably still just go to pieces after leaving the air pocket, and, or, abruptly stop.
