Well done high speed filming of firing of AK underwater with the concomitant
technical analysis. This information
might be useful for visualizing cavitation in a suppressor for designs.
Firing a weapon underwater seems to be the ultimate suppressor if
the bullet exists into the air.
Wonder how long obtaining a stamp would take to be allowed to use
water cans or your swimming pool at the range.
Swimming Pools Next on NFA Silencer List??
Re: Swimming Pools Next on NFA Silencer List??
I used to use my parents' lake house in Arkansas as a place to experiment with salutes.
You can get a good idea what 4 ounces of perchlorate and aluminum can do even under 5 feet of water, without rattling windows for a mile around. Although once I had a floater... as that fuse burned down, it was a serious "oh s--t" moment. The results were spectacular.
Disclaimer - this was decades ago. I no longer make salutes, although I can and do make a black powder faster than Goex, for 75 cents a pound. It's a skill I value for TEOTW applications.
Summary - bodies of water go well with man-hobbies of all types!

How many windows did you take out?

None that I know of, but the rolling echoes were impressive.
Arkansas is good people. If you don't hurt anything, you're generally left alone.
