Just wondering, how do ar's deal with water? is there something special that has to be done to make them water proof? or will they shoot the same wet or dry.

The gas-tube and bore need to be free of water, and it is generally a good idea to drain the receiver extension and magazine as well.
In my opinion this is extremely subjective.
There was a member here telling me that he'd seen DI guns pass over the beach tests or something like that.
Research a thread called ''Heat is bad, DI is bad'' or something to that effect.
I can't remember the specifics.
From my basic knowledge, piston guns are pretty resistant to water.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
Just make sure you get the water out of it before you shoot. I dont think you can make the rifle water tight, without some rediculous amounts of tape and what not.

No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

Interesting, what do navy seals use? I assume they spend some time popping out of water and shooting.
Is this a purely "i want to know" question or do you plan on popping out of the water any time soon? If its purely academic, great , but if its a delusions of grandeur question...well its a bit silly being 99% of us will never have to worry about it.
Time flies when you throw your watch.
I want to see if I can swim across my pool in one breath pop up in the shallow end and shoot a squirrel. joking. I am asking just to ask
