Hello,dear Friends)
All of us have very often seen in Hollywood movies in the shootout scenes when heroes escape from the bullets, and then often dive into the nearest water source. Norwegian physicist Andreas Wahl wanted to test the effectiveness of this action, and set the corresponding experiment. Slow Motion allows you graphically see how the bullet changes it's trajectory when meet water resistance, and it does not reach the goal! Unbelievable! Do not repeat this experience yourself!). In addition, of course you need to understand this fact, and taking into account these factors: the speed of the shot, the distance and the angle of the shot. The popular and my favorite TV show "Mythbusters" have shown that when fired vertically into the water from a height of about 120 cm above the surface of neither one of the weapons is not dangerous to the goal, which located at a depth of 2.5 meters. And if you are shooting from the shore, you have to know that then is enough be located only for 1-2 cm below the surface, because any bullets from small-caliber weapons will bounce off of it. Although, I would be very afraid to try this for myrself.
