They used different types of firearms, such as a 9mm pistol, shotgun, M1 Garand semi-automatic supersonic rifle, and a 50-caliber rifle, to shoot into the water. The results of their investigation suggested that water could provide significant protection against bullets fired from various rifles in an underwater scenario. In real life, however, a bullet is rarely fired from a position directly above the water. So if the bullet is shot from an angle of 30 Degrees, then being underwater in the range of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters) can ensure your safety from most guns.\n
