AK Being Fired Under Water

[1500FPS]

I found this pretty interesting. The author states the rifle cycles faster under water and proves it. Watch the video near the bottom of the article, it's very interesting.

Lucky not to blow up the gun.

The water thing seemed over the top to me, but the high speed footage at the instant of firing is interesting. You can see the barrel flex as the weapon is fired. That certainly gives us an idea why consistent barrel harmonics are important for accuracy.
