Excellent point. Although it is obvious that the scope must be built to stand the pressure, would the act of extending it a few inches out of the shears cause flooding? How could we ever determine that? Tater? Ducimus? Nuke sub vets? Diesel sub vets? Anyone? HELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!
I'll have to do a bit of research into the plausibility of this.
