The Veteran Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 hah well if that aint just the darndest thing I ever did see I wonder why they developed it though... There can't be much demand for aquatic warfare out there surely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 There are also a couple pistols which were developed for underwater use: SPP-1 underwater pistol (Russia) Glock 17 Underwater guns were developed for Special Forces (such as the Navy Seals, etc.) and suffer severely from limited lethality range both above and below water. As you can imagine, as depth increases the range decreases due to water pressure. The max lethal range of the SPP-1 is 17 meters at 5 meters underwater and 11 meters at 20 meters. Better than going at it hand-to-hand, but still a waste in my book. Note: you can fire most guns underwater. Unfortunately, it is usually a one-shot-deal. The gas produced is responsible for pushing the empty out of the barrel, but at depth the gas bubbles away and the empty will most likely get jammed. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluissa Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 revolvers sound like they should be fine, as long as the rounds were sealed well from water, although from what I've seen, normal bullets just aren't meant to go through water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knan Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 And how far do you actually see under water? Not that many meters... so quite effective for their intended use, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tepid tasoth Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Didn't those Heckler 'n Koch guys invent a submerged gun, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Well greets DEFCON /never played the old Deltaforce games much but I do agree on the XCom side of things, they are awesome games Its a good point though that visibility is similarly restricted to weapon range and lethality... I guess everything does kind of come around full circle really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
