One advantage of being a target underwater is that, due to diffraction that bends light, you don't appear to be where the shooter thinks you are. Assuming the bullet can travel through water, the bullet is therefore likely to pass over your head.

My first martial arts master, was a south Korean who fought in the korean war. At one point he was captured by the enemy and imprisoned in one of their facilities. Then he escaped. Under fire, he managed to make it to the near by river. And jumped in, while they shot at him. He managed to get low enough fast enough that they could not catch him, and couldn't kill him, and managed to escape. He had the news paper from his country where he had been covered in the dojo if you knew where to look. So.. it can very much work, and save your life. He was living proof. Sadly he passed on a few years ago. The guy was a legend.

@@DebunkedOfficial I was going to point that out as well. Arrows, or bolts, from a crossbow will also penetrate the water much more effectively than bullets. I have done my share of shooting fish from a tree stand. In Vermont, US, there is a fish shooting season at Lake Champlain. You are allowed to use ANY type of weapon you like. Pistols, rifles, shotguns, bow and arrows or crossbows. Crossbows are the most effective. The lake floods the surrounding forest in the Spring to about 6-7 feet above the forest floor. It’s difficult to see fish and harder to hit them. The idea is to help reduce the number of invasive species that eat the eggs of native fish, thus killing off the “good fish”. A sunny day is a must. We use canoes to get to the areas we choose. It’s tuff going as you are not paddling as much as pulling yourself along by tree branches that also impede your movement as you move, suspended 6feet above the forest floor, by crystal clear water. It’s bizarre.

The premise makes it seem like the jumping in water tactic in movies and tv is about utilizing water resistance which is certainly not the case. They almost universally show the bullets travelling past the protagonist at decent speeds as if still lethal and under no greater resistance than in the air. The tactic in fiction is about breaking line of sight and/or using the current to escape faster than on foot.
@xmillion1704
@xmillion1704 Жыл бұрын
Logic dictates that one assume that increased resistance through water is always one factor considered by rational individuals. The fact that one is able to easily follow the path of the bullet as it is passing through water indicates the much slower rate of travel, as compared through air, suggestive of greatly reduced potential for lethality.

A lot of times when people are diving into water to avoid getting shot, it's not due to any thought of the water's effectiveness to stop bullets, but rather hiding and evading from enemies. Obviously seeing through water is a lot more difficult than seeing through air especially if you're diving into turbulent and/or murky water, and even if the water is crystal clear optical refraction and even just sheer water surface movement can make aiming at a person underwater difficult.

When my dad was in college, his zoology prof was specializing in salamanders, and a canyon in the mountains near the school was an area where there were species that hadn't been studied. He offered extra credit for bringing in specimens, but they were tiny and very hard to catch. But he told dad the trick to catching potential subjects: when you saw them in a stream, you shot at their heads with a .22 pistol. The water diffraction would displace your aim - enough that you'd miss and just stun them - and then you could just scoop them up easily. Dad stopped trying for extra credit after he shot the head off the third one.

no one ever mentioned or thought about that bullets on beach the landing in Normandy 1944 would zip through the water just as mentioned 20 feet or more at deadly speeds, that was due to the fact that the bullets been fired came from 800+m away before entering the water, hence bled off enough energy to enter at slower velocities, waves also contributed to varying angles when bullets hit the water. All experiments seem to be at short distances to the water surfaces with still water. Try 800m, 308 or .50 calibre into waves, and watch how far most of those travel. its incredible.

It also depends on the geometry and construction of the tip of the bullet. Some are designed to penetrate far more than others. Hyper cavitation bullets, usually designed for big game animals, penetrate dozens of feet through a fluid environment. Expanding bullets like hollow points or soft point bullets penetrate usually less than 2 feet. Full metal jacket bullets are in between. It also depends on the stability of the bullet. A very stable bullet just goes straight through. An unstable bullet will turn sideways like the .223 bullets that tend to yaw because they are long and skinny. Going sideways through the water dumps more energy and breaks up the bullet to create more surface area to create more even more drag. 9 mm are short and fat. If they are full metal jacket, the penetrate a few feet. If they are hollow points, they will probably penetrate only a foot or so.

We shot into water at a 60 degree angle, while watching from about underwater. Cavitation was: 9 pistol, 200 cm; 22 rifle, 300 cm; two-two-three mini14, about 1 meter (metal jacket flattened slowly fell to the bottom); 308, 2 meters of cavitation and a pressure wave that you could strongly feel at the 8 meters we were from the point-of-entry. I was young and dumb back then. Now I'm old and dumb, and I'd do it again. For the 308 or bigger, I would guess that if you were less the 1 meter under, at a steep angle, you would be knocked out from the concussive force, even if the bullet missed you. I wonder how strong a shock-wave per distance would be for a stick of dyn-o-mite and a anti-sub charge.

Interesting that flat point bullets have a cavitation effect that reduces their resistance through water. This is exactly why torpedos usually have a blunt nose. I believe it also reduces the chance of water causing the torpedo (or bullet) to change direction rather than running straight as water pushing differently on one side of a round or pointed nose causes it to start to veer to one side and circle back on itself or with bullets, start to tumble. A flat point causes the nose to try to “normalize” its trajectory and continue in the direction it was fired. Seen this effect on quite a few times in ballistic gelatin as well.

The flat nose is needed so the hydrophone can hear, water rushing at high speed direct over the hydrophon would make it deaf. The flat nose creates a bulb of still water in front of the torpedo. Torpedos that use super cavitation have a nose like a rifle bullet with a small flat tip and rocket propulsion.

2500 FPS is slow for a .223 Remington. Optimal velocity is around 2900 FPS. Also, 1300 FPS is insane for a 9mm. 9mm Luger are generally 900-1100 FPS. 9mm can reach 1300 FPS, but only certain types of ammunition.

What one needs to remember is that most handgun and shoulder fired calibres are designed for one thing- disruption of flesh (be it hunting animals or defending yourself against bad guys)... and flesh is mostly water. Therefore, a bullet is intended to dump its energy as fast as possible when it hits something wet and squishy

9mm rounds (9x19 parabellum) have a much less tapered tip, providing them with a fraction of the same buffer the supercavitating rounds rely on (also akin to the design of the x15's nose to help with the increased air resistance at hypersonic speed). The .223 Remington (5.56mm NATO), .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), and .50 BMG rounds are all Spitzer shaped projectiles, which utilize the sharper taper. Most "modern" pistol rounds are similar to the 9mm in shape, but older pistol and rifle cartridges had even more blunted projectile tips. I'm curious at what point one would see diminishing returns from this. Also curious if a .45 APC round would go farther and retain greater wounding ability longer since it is even slower than 9mm, typically moving at around 850-900fps with a 230gr bullet in non +p variants. Does the spin imparted by the rifling cause the bullets to decelerate more rapidly? Barrel twist rates are not uniform, even when using the same cartridge often times. A .223/5.56 rifle optimized for standard 55gr FMJ typically use a lower twist rate than one optimized for precision BTHP 75gr rounds. Another example is the 7.62x51: typical you'll see 1:12 twist in rifles that are mostly shooting the 145-150 gr FMJ, where the sniper rifles shooting 175gr BTHP will be 1:10. The competition match grade 168gr will use a 1:11 twist. Heavier bullets need more spin for more stability.

Depends on what kind of water it is. If you are in a river, you could get quite far away underwater with only one breath. Also, if it is at night, or if there is lots of flotsam in the water to hide under, it would be harder to aim at you. Helps to be a good swimmer though.

If they are shooting straight down (from a bridge/helicopter) Swim 3 feet down if they have high caliber, 7 feet down if they have low caliber. If they planned and brought special water piercing bullets, you’re dead.

The deformation of the bullet as it hits the water would probably also have an effect on the direction it is traveling as the bullet is now asymmetrical. Murkiness and surface reflection can also make it harder to see the target, and moving water makes them a moving target that is quickly escaping as well.

Not to mention the difficulty of seeing where the person is underwater and thus having trouble aiming at them, along with not being using to shooting things underwater and accounting for the different drop-off of the bullet. So, it sounds like movies actually make it seem more dangerous than it really is to be shot at while under water. Nevertheless, I wouldn't want to risk it.

No, to create steam the bullet need contact with the water and also cools down very quick. When quenching steel in water you only move the steel a little around to prevent that a steam layer keep the water away from the steel. A bullet is too fast for creating an effectiv steam layer and when it slow down enough, its already too cold.

I'm not aware anyone's tested this with armor piercing rounds. There's a lot of different types of ammo out there, and I'm assuming these tests were performed with "standard" rounds, like a full copper jacket lead bullet. I'm wondering how various types of AP ammo fare. I suspect most of them would still break up on impact, but AP rounds are basically standard bullets with a steel penetrator core, and that would probably gain you a few meters of underwater lethality, though the path of the penetrator would probably be diverted considerably.

What about Hydrostatic shock how deep would you have to go to get out of range of that? In theory it happens when the projectile changes from a gas surface to a liquid surface and greats a shockwave. The shockwave when it hits the head of a human or depending on the place it hits the human the heart. The brain will take a hit to the extent to cause brain damage or just turn the brain into a liquid instead of the solid it normally is. So it wouldn't be the bullet that kills you but the shockwave from the bullet hitting water that does.
