Guns and The Sea

[TheIllaDopest]

So with the new trailers on the horizon i thought i share something i found. IDK if any of you seen the HK P11. It a 5 shot pistol designed to shoot underwater.

 

 

 

now i know the bullets of other guns cannot travel far in real life, but lets face it this is a game and like a movie certains rules apply. In movies and tv we see bullets fired into water and reach unbelievable depths. But as ridiculous as it sounds it looks awesome. Now with that being said, I think in V some guns should fire underwater and some should malfunction after a clip has been dumped. The HK P11 should be an exclusive weapon you can attain from the subs (IMO). I also think the AK47 should be able to fire w/o any trouble. Has any one ever fired a firearm underwater?

Can't say i had thought of this but thank you for bringing this up because this will be important to know for multiplayer. When i learned that we would be able to go underwater i imagined it would be a safe haven, somewhere to escape to when the helicopter action got too crazy.

 

But i don't know much about guns and water and how bullets act in water. How deep would a buzzard's machine gun bullets travel in water?

who needs guns when you've got harpoons

OT:I first read it as ''shooting underwear''

well it could happen with a "nutshot"

 

@BeyondRage yea this will probably pertain to mp more then anything. And i think the buzzards will be able to shoot deep but cause the bullets to swerve when gliding underwater

Bad part about the p11 is that it needs to be shipped back to the factory to be reloaded.

Glocks can function underwater, but most guns cannot. On second thought most guns should be able to fire the first round if already chambered into the barrel (but could have a catastrophic failure), the problem comes in with the reloading action, especially firearms with gas-operated actions. Blow back closed bolts would, in theory, be best the action suited to firing underwater.

Some guns can experience catastrophic failure (ie: blow up) when doing an "over the beach test" (the gun is submerged and allowed to fill with water and pulled out and shot immediately before the water has time to exit the firearm).

All in all, as you pointed out, bullets shot under water are pretty ineffective due to physics...

 

EDIT: Just to clarify, the catastrophic failure is from the gas return tube exploding when the gass from the round enters the water filled gas tube.

Perfect so it won't be a spam killer, unless you just keep picking up a new one

Spear gun. Problem solved. Unless that submarine has onboard missiles, which looks like it doesn't

[Fisciletti]

This is actually very interesting and important, for those who'll play multiplayer.

[NortheyD]

I remember in SA that when diving underwater you could still be shot and killed by the police on boats and in the choppers no matter how deep you went, I would expect the same to appear in V

i couldve sworn i saw a minigun on top of the sub.

 

@UberVIIX thanks for the quick lesson, i hope we get different results (from different guns) if we can happen to fire underwater.

[lazloisdavrock]

anyone remember the dude in gta3 that was fishing with grenades off his boat? would be cool to do that again

[TheIllaDopest]

look at the top is that a minigun?

@lazloisdavrock i dont recall that lol

[oblivionskate]

I just want to be able to shoot while the character is treading water

[Mikeol1987]

it gets me thinking that there is blatently going to be a harpoon... that in itself is exciting

[GourangaMaster]

Only weapon i could see being realistically used underwater is some sort of spear gun or harpoon if any at all.

[Revolution-XW]

Good idea OP, automatically getting different underwater weapons when getting on a water type vehicle.

thanks

 

heres a glock underwater

 

as you can see in reality the bullets are ineffective. But this is far from real life so it could work.

 

as for harpoons if this guy can do this w/o gear

 

then i think the 3 protags can too lol
