This is why you need a quality RDS like an Aimpoint

At least in the receiver extension and magazine. Any Seals listening? GH

But they even donned boonie hats for the second shot!


Seriously though, the pics are cool looking. This is just a hair outside my realm though.

So, do we conclude that deep water capability of an RDS is indicative of its overall quality? I'm OK with that concept, but does that mean that the Aimpoint H-1 or R-1 (which are touted around here as being "every bit as good as the T-1") are therefore significantly inferior to the T-1?

H-1 rated waterproof to 15 feet.
T-1 rated waterproof to 80 feet.

Awesome pictures. Makes me want to gear up and go for a swim.

This might come in handy for me when I'm swimming off the coast of AZ...

Perhaps totally off-topic, but why is it that pistols seem to function perfectly fine underwater (I done seen it on Youtube!), but apparently water will **** up your rifle?

Duh, global warming is coming. When the polar ice caps are all melted we'll all be under water:D

Takes spearfishing to another level.

Cool photos but the bullet wont get more than a foot or two when exiting the barrel.

Not necessarily. There are hypercavitating projectiles with significant range in water. I don't know if that is just fired into water, or underwater firing, though.
