Obligatory Friday gun stuff!
Mythbusters did a show this week on the effects of water against bullets. They tested using varous caliber weapons, with solid ammo (FMJ, Ball, Slug, etc). From a purely vertical angle, the 9mm and 12ga had massive penetration. However, the deer slug broke their testing apparatus, so they had to change to a swimming pool.
For the swimming pool, then had to angle the firing to about 23 degrees. At this angle, they were shown testing a .50cal black powder rifle, a .223 AR variant, an M1 Garand in 30-06, and a AR-50 in 50BMG. Surprisingly, the rifle ammo (except for the black powder round) broke up and fragmented about 3 feet into the water at that angle. The slower black powder round penetrated further, about five feet.
While I would have liked to see them do the vertical testing with all the weapons, the angular testing does show that bullets can be stopped by as little as three feet of water. Here is an advertisement on bullet traps and fragmentation.
