Interesting experiment. I wonder how it would fare with other calibers?

Yep....water > bullets

Nevertheless, always enjoyable watching these types of experiments being carried out.

The guys from Myth Busters did a show where the tried to debunk the whole movie magic scenes with bullets whizzing by people under water as they swam away. They where able to demonstrate that regardless of the bullet, the more energy it makes, the less penetration into the body of water and the more damage to the round.

If I recall correctly, a low speed pistol round (900 fps) made it about 3 feet deep, but a high power rifle round (3,000 fps) barely made it past the surface. A 50 BMG disintegrated on contact of the surface of the water. It was really pretty cool.

I found the info. It is "MythBusters Episode 34: Bulletproof Water". I was close.
