Interesting video of pistols being fired underwater

High speed film of two pistols one a revolver the other a semi automatic being fired under water.

What he says about the gap between the cylinder and the barrel on the revolver is true to some extent though the gases lost do not make a huge difference.The
M1895 Nagant revolver is the only mass produced revolver to have been designed to counter this gas loss.The fact that almost no other revolvers have been produced with a gas seal design to me implies that there must not be much ballistic gain to make it worth while.

I was hoping that the slide would fly off and crack his sternum.This has to be two of the most annoying and stupid guys in the US.I hope he keeps trying with full powered rifles like he does with an aK-47 because a wepon with that kind of power can and will explode if filled with water just a matter of time before this jerk kills himself.
