APS underwater assault rifle
Updated: January 9th, 2013
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.

I 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.
