This is why you need a quality RDS like an Aimpoint

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.

I always thought that was when fired into the water from the surface.

Isn't it generally regarded as a horrible idea to fire a gun underwater? Seems to me so long as the optic can get wet it is good to go. I would say very very few people need a Scuba ready optic.

No, if firearm is rated for such exercise. There are reasons, why G36 is very popular among maritime SOF units (at least in my neighborhood).

But if there is need to actually hit something underwater and do some harm, I would prefer APS or ASM-DT

In response to barrel rupturing and projectile range, I am going to park this here.

In the video, he is using a Kalashnikov. I am sure a .556 or .762 would do better, but this is a great reference.

I'll add this old video as well, although we are off topic from the OP
