Sharks have a T.V. programming season on the their version of the Discovery Channel called "Chuck Norris Week".

Seriously, the silly is strong in this thread.

Shoot underwater?:rofl::rofl:

 

[Patchman]

All you need is a bad case of stupid.:upeyes:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

But seriously, Danny you know big people in GSSF. Why not design a course of fire involving the shooters to cross a 4 or 5 foot deep pool (gun must be holstered) and engage targets from the edge of the pool, while in the pool with only head and hands exposed (like SEAL operators).

Then the next event immediately following will be a wet T-shirt contest using Glock T-shirts. Sweet, huh? :supergrin:

 

[Zell]

Why would anybody want to shoot any gun underwater? Realistically, is there a enough need for that to put out the expense to do it? Give me some scenarios where it would be practical. I can't think of one.

Bunch of out of shape hair dudes... mental picture. UGH.

 

[dpadams6]

Why in the world would you want to? If you decide to do that, cover your ears. I heard it could blow out your ear drums. Don't know how true that is.

What you need to fire your Glock under water is; BULLETS!!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[DMAR]

You'll need your Glock, and a snorkel...

And then there is this video in regards to a Glock shooting after being submerged.

Glock Fail - YouTube

All though, it is interesting to note that the shooter did state that his carry gun is a Glock.

Here is the slightly longer version showing them putting sand and dirt in the gun first. Which, after doing so it fired fine.

Beretta M92FS VS Gen 4 Glock 17: Torture Test - YouTube

Oh, and it is a Gen 4 17 not an OD Gen 3. They had the frame color duracoated. That is the only alteration of the gun, so they claim.

There is another video of them installing maritime spring cups AFTER they made this test video. In the near future they are going to re-test the Glock with the spring cups installed.

cheesy vids.....lol....at least they got all geared up to throw their Glock in the water....tac vests and all

 

[mitzer]

SCUBA gear for the win! I'm sorry but I couldn't resist.

Seriously though, it's your gun and your money ... do what pleases you. Ignore my comment above and all others if you want. That's the great thing about America ... Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!

Try a spear gun instead.

I was under the impression that the positive, forward pressure was too much in the barrel and that there had been cases wherein a persons Glock exploded because the water could not be displaced.

 

[Q400]

I was under the impression that the positive, forward pressure was too much in the barrel and that there had been cases wherein a persons Glock exploded because the water could not be displaced.

This could happen if you were using hollow points and the first bullet expanded to the point it plugged the barrel, then if the weapon were to be fired again you could have a problem.

Just running this through my mind.

Salt water is denser than fresh water. So HP will more likely expand unintentionally when shot in salt water. Gotta be that more more careful when the body of water is the Dead Sea or a salt lake.

 

[s&wfan]

You will quite possibly blow your eardrums out, too, good luck with that.

Your brother-in-law's Glock.

And a snorkle.

ah maritime spring cups.......ALL GLOCKERS should have them installed, but not for underwater shooting, as that is way out of the realm of practicality. BUT, there is a little phenomenon called "Pumping" with glocks from time to time.

it is when a glock gets some crap or oil or grime in the striker channel, and the regular spring cups pump against it (the crud) and it stalls the forward movement of the striker. with the maritime cups in, there are channels for water (or crud/grime) to move past effectively eliminating the possibility of "Pumping" to happen by like 99.9%.

thats why i have them, rock your glock sells them when i bought 10 of them for 3.95. yeah i spent 40 bux on spring keepers. but i hear that sometimes the maritime cups become a bit like "unobtanium"

so you recommend this mod?

are there any downsides to it?

 

[jb1911]

I've Googled a bit and have come across a wide range of prices. I've seen the Maritime Firing Pin on sale for around $30. But then there are kits for the entire conversion that cost over $100?

What is needed to fully convert my Glock to be able to fire rounds underwater?

And why don't I hear more people talking about this? Is this is a bad mod? Does it make the gun less reliable? Is it even practical?

It's unlikely I'd ever be in a situation where I would need to shoot something from under water, but if I could spend $50 or $100 to make it have that ability without losing its on-ground reliability, it would say "why not?".

You slept through physics class, right?
