my second attempt at shooting pistols underwater. both times the pistol would not shoot after the firing pin cavity filled up with water. All rounds that would not fire under water worked perfect out of water. I would have displayed this in this video but there was some fisherman a couple hundred yards away. (didnt want them to shit there pants) :)
thanks for the vid, i was watching "the good, the bad and the ugly" (for the 1000th time) and i was wondering about that scene where Tuco goes, "when you have to shoot, shoot".
i guess its true

@JUKEBOXX1990 The maritime springcups are made by Glock for their Glock Model 17 and 19 in 9mm only. This part will fit other glock models. This was made for Military and LE use only and Glock will not sell this part to the general public, however they will sell it to their parts distributors. My guess is so that they wont get sued when someone puts this in a .40 cal Glock and shoots it underwater causing the firearm to blow apart.
The spring cup allows water to go around the striker.

There was an article on this subject many years ago - in Guns & Ammo - they got a .45 Auto (I think it was a Randall - from memory) and it worked ok. One thing they stated - from a safety perspective - was to make sure the barrel was full of water - no airspaces - or potentially, the barrel could burst. I have no empirical evidenc to support why this would be and it is from memory, but it is apparently a fact... The gun would not cycle, but it did fire. Point is, be careful my friend...
