Wow, the rifling/spin of the bullet really shows there.

[–]ormirian 1 point2 points ago

[–]Kintaro08 22 points23 points ago

Don't worry, it still spins clockwise if the bullet is coming toward you.

[–]greenboxer 6 points7 points ago

It depends. The gun in question (1911) commonly has a 1:16" left hand twist. So this picture is accurate!

[–]C_M_O_TDibbler 0 points1 point ago

Depends on the rifling on the barrel, it varies in direction, shape and no of twists from gun to gun so a glock (right hand, hexagonal with one twist every 250mm) is different to a colt 1911 which has a left hand twist

[–]corttana 8 points9 points ago

I know nothing about guns... but I didn't think you could shoot guns underwater. Now I'm assuming some can, but most can't? Either way, that's really cool looking! I wonder what the bullet speed ends up being underwater.

[–]Asscough 16 points17 points ago

If the gun has a spring powerful enough and uses modern cased ammunition, you can shoot it under water. Automatic weapons will only fire once, then you have to reload them manually.

[–]latticusnon 42 points43 points ago

*Cycle them manually.

[–]Asscough 3 points4 points ago

Indeed

[–]Frothyleet 6 points7 points ago

The problem isn't the recoil spring, it's the incompressible nature of water. You can get massive over pressure in the barrel/chamber which could lead to catastrophic failure.

[–]Asscough 0 points1 point ago

If the spring is not strong enough, the hammer may not be able to ignite the percussion cap.

[–]Frothyleet 0 points1 point ago

I suspect you mean primer rather than percussion cap since we are talking about modern ammunition.

[–]Asscough 0 points1 point ago

I do not know, since I went to the army in a country where the terms were not in English. Excuse my mistakes. I meant the thing that the hammer hits, causing the initial explosion which ignites the gunpowder inside the casing.

[–]deubski 5 points6 points ago

Not very fast. Almost any bullet would be stopped enough to prevent penetration after 8ft. There is a myth busters episode on it

[–]WC_Cowpony 2 points3 points ago

Didn't mythbusters determine that a shotgun blast would be much more effective through water than a bullet? Or am I getting my memories mixed up?

[–]nvahren0102 3 points4 points ago

I don't remember, but I do think that in the episode they found that firing the gun underwater was more effective than standing outside of the water and firing into it. So, if you ever need to shoot something underwater, keep this in mind.

[–]rmg22893 1 point2 points ago

Makes sense. Breaking the surface tension of the water would fuck up the bullet's trajectory and velocity significantly.

[–]nvahren0102 1 point2 points ago

In the episode it really just fucked up the bullet itself. The impact tore it apart.

[–]Bubba_Brown 6 points7 points ago

Depends on the action of gun. Most can fire one shot, given that the ammunition doesn't allow the powder/primer to get wet. The issue comes with semi-automatic and automatic weapons. Depending on what they use to power the mechanics for ejecting the spent casing and chambering a new round, the weapon might only manage one shot. Most gas-operated mechanism are going to have problems, but recoil driven ones may not.

[–]BendTime 0 points1 point ago

The bullet contains it's own oxidizer in the casing, so it doesn't need the oxygen from the air to go off.

[–]pordante 97 points98 points ago

cool ak-47 assault rifle

[–]TheTrueIrishMan 88 points89 points ago

[–]homelessnesses 22 points23 points ago

Yeah too bad it's missing its barrel shroud on the shoulder.

[–]aveygt 8 points9 points ago

now I really want to know what a barrel shroud is.

EDIT: now I know what a barrel shroud is. but that begs the question, why would somebody want to outlaw it?

[–]Antsache 15 points16 points ago

More accurately, they outlawed it because TEC-9s commonly have one. While it does serve the purpose of allowing the user to fire more rounds in quick succession without burning their hand, the main goal of the legislation was to outlaw the specific weapons that were being used in public shootings and against cops. The TEC-9 was a common weapon favored by criminals, and somewhat difficult to legislate around, as it typically sold at market as a semi-automatic pistol (which would make it relatively easy to purchase), then modified after-market to be fully automatic. The barrel shroud rule specifically targeted this weapon because of how easy it was to convert to full-auto, without attempting to ban handguns in general.

[–]jeff_albertson_redux 3 points4 points ago

But...why not ban the TEC-9 instead? Not having even the slighthest insight into US gun laws, it seems to me that banning a barrel shroud on the accounbt of one weapon is a swing and a miss.

If many weapon types are scrutinized over their ability to easily be made rapid firing, why not ban them all instead?

[–]CrisisOfConsonant 9 points10 points ago

I would speculate that they didn't do this because they realized if they banned the TEC-9 by name, they'd make a change and call it the TEC-10. Actually some quick research and it turns out exactly this happened later (except it was called the TEC-DC9 and AB-10).

And from what I've heard, generally the ATF doesn't allow guns that are considered too easy to convert to full auto onto the market (open bolt designs I believe). It should be noted that the ATF's decisions around what does and does not qualify as a machine gun are archaic and not always consistent. A small piece of metal (an auto sear) by it's self is considered a machine gun, although it can't fire a bullet. An example, the ATF allowed a product similar to this http://militarygunsupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=58&products_id=1082 because it did not allow you to fire more then one bullet per trigger pull. But then later decided that it was in fact a machine gun.

More to the point though. Guns are rarely banned because they're particularly notorious in crime, but more because they look scary (i.e., are used by criminals in movies a lot). I wish this were a lie or hyperbole, but if you look at the laws, it's really pretty much what it comes down to.

[–]jeff_albertson_redux 1 point2 points ago

Hm very good explanation. Still a bit unsettling, it seems the laws prohibiting certain types of weapons are a bit random and not really thought through. But then again, i guess that a general lenient legislation towards firearms, as seen in the US in general, requires more specific laws in order not to infer with the general freedom to own firearms. As a scandinav this just seems weird, and frankly kind of dumb, to me. But interesting to read about none the less!

[–]BEBHaven 0 points1 point ago

We have a fairly major issue in the US with laws being written by people unfamiliar with the thing they're legislating. See also: Laws about the internet, copyrights, gambling, prostitution, etc.

[–]CrisisOfConsonant 1 point2 points ago

You don't know how true this is. Where I live there is a waiting period to buy a Steyr AUG, however you can walk in and pick up an FN PS90. The main difference between the two is the PS90 holds 50 rounds and is ridiculously easy to shoot.

Although, if the law that classified the AUG in the same category as a hand gun were written today, I'm sure the PS90 would be on the list as well, since it shows up in video games.

As an aside, here's something they'll tip you off that someone knows next to nothing about guns. You hear the term "Assault Weapon" a lot on the news. However there is no such thing. There are "Assault Rifles" which are rifles capable of automatic or burst fire. But when they say "A man burst into a school with an assault weapon", they just mean a gun. But sounds a lot scarier when you say assault weapon huh?

Politicians, people who know nothing making laws about everything.

[–]jeff_albertson_redux 0 points1 point ago

So, would this mean that a guy that shoots up a school using a assult rifle that is capable of single shot fire is different from the same shooting, had he used a weapon capable of automatic fire? Even though all army doctrines dictate that single shots are the most effective way of killing people?

[–]CrisisOfConsonant 0 points1 point ago

Umm, I'm not really sure what your first question is. If it's about the AUG vs. the PS90, I meant the civilian version of the AUG (semi auto).

Also yeah, single shot is the preferred usage of weapons in actual combat (from everything I've read at least, honestly I only ever shoot at paper; I don't even hunt.). Full auto is mostly good for running out of ammo (if your chain fed, it's a different story I would guess). Honestly in a school shooting, I wouldn't be surprised if someone using fully automatic fire hit less people then someone using semi automatic fire. I've fired a full auto Uzi before and I found anything more then 3 shot bursts had me aiming at the ceiling.

[–]Cheese_Bits 0 points1 point ago

They could learn form Canada regarding this specific topic. While our gun laws in general suck, we do have the ability to ban firearms by name and by extension all subsequent or related firearms based on that design. It has negative consequences of course, but it eliminates stupid work around laws like the barrel shroud.

[–]PharaohJoe 3 points4 points ago

I hope we never take and follow Canada's example of firearms laws.

[–]Cheese_Bits 0 points1 point ago

Hence why I said this specific case.

Edit: Typical, any response involving any regulation at all is viewed with a kneejerk reaction by a vocal minority as automatically bad.

Heston forbid we have a rational conversation about logical and direct gun regulations as opposed to banning accessories that have broad ramifications such as the barrel shroud regulation in question.

[–]YFC 0 points1 point ago

If you could cherry pick them I'd certainly like the "we have no SBS or SBR" laws that they have. Plus, they get awesome Chinese guns (modern Norinco M-14s, not the older Polytech crap ones), unmolested SIG rifles, and a range of interesting pistols because they don't have a bullshit 75-point handgun import system, an import ban targeting "assault features" or 922(r) restrictions.

[–]RedAero 0 points1 point ago

I think the word you should be using is "assault weapon" as opposed to machine gun or assault rifle. It's what "they" use, specifically because it means absolutely nothing.

[–]CrisisOfConsonant 0 points1 point ago

No, I specifically meant machine gun, as in a gun capable of more firing more then one around per trigger pull; i.e. what was banned under the Machine Gun Ban of 1986. Just owning the auto-sear which is the piece that allows a gun to fire automatically is a violation of the law. My understanding (and I could be incorrectly informed about this) is that if your caught with an auto-sear, even if it's not in a gun, they charge you with having a machine gun. Granted I figure if you were caught with it in a school, they'd only arrest you for owning a machine gun, and not also for bringing a weapon onto a school campus. But it's still one of those weird things where the ATF is known for referring to a single piece as an entire machine gun.

[–]RedAero 0 points1 point ago

Oh, sorry, I thought you were referring to the assault weapon ban bullshit that was going on about 2-3 years ago, when they banned things like pistol grips, collapsible buttstocks and threaded barrels.

[–]thal13 0 points1 point ago

If I recall correctly, the ATF actually categorized a piece of string the same way (as a machine gun) when attached to a semi-automatic weapon in such a way that, when fired, the rearward travel of the slide or bolt would pull the string which would in turn pull the trigger, in effect creating a machine gun.

[–]DissapointedBird 0 points1 point ago

Because Amerika, man.

[–]Ur_mum 2 points3 points ago

Not real important, but actually it is the predecessor to the TEC-9, the KG-9, that was easily convertible to FA. The TEC-9 is a closed bolt operation compared to open bolt for the KG-9, and is not particularly easy to convert. I'm not surprised that you might have gotten a slightly different from media reports, they are usually clueless. As a standard closed bolt blowback (as I remember) design, if you can convert a TEC-9, you can really convert anything.

But whenever you used to hear about semi-automatic guns being easily convertible to FA, they are almost certainly talking about old open bolt uizs, open bolt MAC-10s KG-9s, etc. The ATF came down pretty hard on open bolt guns in the 80s, so we haven't seen them for years, but that's where all that comes from. And they were really easy, sometimes just filing down a sear or something simple like that.

The barrel shroud ban logic goes more like this I think: The TEC-9/KG-99 is an evil weapon, it has a barrel shroud, therefore the barrel shroud is bad as well.

[–]webtwopointno 4 points5 points ago

it protects the operator from the hot barrel, thus he can get many more shots off rapidly without having to worry about hurting himself

[–]get_everything 0 points1 point ago

The barrel gets hot after a single shot and looses heat slowly. It has no bearing on the mechanism or rate of fire.

[–]webtwopointno 0 points1 point ago

but it's easier to handle after being used

    Because its "scary". So annoying.

    [–]gormhornbori -1 points0 points ago

    Because it is only useful if you intend to fire a lot of shots in a short time i.e. an automatic weapon. It's basically one of the pieces used to convert a weapon into automatic. (Also probably the most visible modification.)

    [–]YankeeQuebec 2 points3 points ago

    It's basically one of the pieces used to convert a weapon into automatic.

    What? A barrel shroud has absolutely nothing to do in making a rifle automatic or not. It is a feature predominately on fully-automatic guns, but if you want to get into semantics, a rifle stock, slide on a handgun, or magazine/pump on shotgun serves the exact same purpose as a barrel shroud. And even if it did, fully automatic guns are legal in most states in the US, and have never been outright illegal, even during the assault weapons ban.

    Want to know more?

    There has been only 2 murders with legally owned fully automatic weapons in the US, and one of those was committed by someone who was a police officer.

    [–]pingwax 2 points3 points ago

    It would be interesting to know how this changes the pressures in the gun. It must increase them substantially, I'm surprised it isn't high enough to at least risk a catastrophic failure.

    [–]Samueul -3 points-2 points ago

    It can. My cousin split and curled the entire barrel of his shotgun when he fired it with just the end of the barrel in a pond.

    [–]stockbroker 11 points12 points ago

    That's the equivalent of shooting a shotgun while resting the barrel on a sidewalk. Firing a gun underwater - entirely underwater - is completely different.

    [–]Dirty_Liberal_Hippie -1 points0 points ago

    I admit, I know next to nothing about guns. My initial comment was just me being silly. Could you help a lay person such as I understand why just sticking the barrel of a shot gun under water and shooting it would destroy it but sticking the entire shot gun under and shooting, would not?

    :3

    [–]RzaDaHut 1 point2 points ago

    Its like belly-flopping. The water's surface is initaly like concrete at such speeds. The bullet hitting the water explodes as if it hit any other hard target, that explosion ruptured the barrel.

    Source: Mythbusters

    [–]Almustafa 1 point2 points ago

    To continue: but if the whole gun is underwater to begin with, then there isn't the shock of the bullet hitting the water, but it would take longer for the pressure in the barrel to dissipate, as the bullet wouldn't move as fast through the water as it did through the air.

    [–]Dirty_Liberal_Hippie -1 points0 points ago

    Oh. Cool. And yay for myth busters :D

    [–]nvahren0102 0 points1 point ago

    It's surprisingly easy to blow the barrel open on a shotgun. A guy that I shot trap with in high school stumbled and clogged his barrel with mud. He didn't know that it was clogged, and stepped up to shoot. His 12ga curled like a banana.

    [–]latticusnon 1 point2 points ago

    While not great I doubt this would cause lasting damage, assuming the gun was dried off and cleaned afterwards.

    [–]Dirty_Liberal_Hippie 1 point2 points ago

    I know, I was just being silly :P

    [–]SitnaltaPhix 5 points6 points ago

    I would say you risk deforming the firing chamber, especially if there's some air trapped in the barrel. For semi-autos I highly doubt that the cartridge would be ejected properly, so one shot and you're done.

    In any case, I definitely would not wear my fucking wrist watch while doing this.

    that nice but dont do that often with any random weapons you have the water keep lots of force in the gun the canon could blew up...the water will probably protect your face and vital part but your hand can suffer from it

    I really hope this wasn't done in an inflatable pool...

    [–]pimpin_cowboy 0 points1 point ago

    Possibly a dumb question; is that gun made to work underwater or do all guns do that? I thought guns wouldn't work underwater

    [–]marsrover001 0 points1 point ago

    All guns will work underwater, the question is will the recoil activated reload mechinism will work.

    Given a bullet in the barrel it will work, some won't reload until dried.

    Well that is one way to fuck up a swimming pool.

    I never really understood why a gun can fire underwater. Does the gunpowder not need oxygen to burn or explode?

    [–]glahtiguy 1 point2 points ago

    No, it does not. The oxidizer it uses is already in the smokeless power in the round.

    You can fire a gun in space, the Russians did it.

    [–]nvahren0102 0 points1 point ago

    Thanks, that clears it up.

    [–]Xylotol 0 points1 point ago

    This is what actually happens in the air as well. I always thought it'd be cool if you could have reactant powder on the bullet to colour the air and see this.

    Video games taught me that you can't fire a gun under water. So now I know this is shopped.
