This underwater view shows you can see the shells falling through the air waiting to contact the water. It also shows shells that are bobbing on the surface and some that have started to fall to the bottom. I noticed here that the AA gun is not shown in the reflections.....we'll have to look into this! I'm basing this on GWX 2.1 files also
i hold one in my hand and the 2cm casings where quite heavy...so they start sinking very shortly (0,5 sec) after they hit the surface. they do not need to fullfill with water...they only slow down and sink.

its different with 7,62mm casings, they stay a little while on the surface...but also just a second or so.
