Physicist Andreas Wahl is host of a show in Norway called “Life on the Line”, and in every episode he puts himself in a potentially fatal situation to prove a point (like when he leapt off a building to show that a rope could make a knot because of his falling body weight).

His latest daredevil experiment was to prove that it is nearly impossible to shoot a gun

effectively underwater, not because guns can’t fire underwater but because water is 800 times denser than air so that makes it 800 times harder for a bullet to meet its target underwater. 

The scientist decided to share this fact with all of us by putting himself infront of a semi-automatic gun in a pool to show that the bullet fired at his body would never make it there. Even though the bullet didn’t make it there, it was still so pretty close.
