I'm certain because the rifle is pointed at his balls. No one signs up for that. P Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable.

He probably knew to the inch how far it would go. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

I saw that episode. It was pretty neat, and one of the things that seemed to make a difference was the speed of the bullet. Seems the faster the bullet was traveling, the quicker it expanded, and thus the quicker it slowed down. The slower moving pistol bullets traveled further if I remember correctly. Also, to compare to the video of the rifle actually being fired underwater, the bullet traveled even less when fired underwater than if fired above water and into the water. Not sure exactly what physics are involved there, but I could only guess it has something to do with the bullet being allowed to travel at ~2750FPS or more for a short distance before being slowed by the water vs. hitting water at full muzzle velocity and slowing down immediately thereafter (well, actually as soon as it got to the water about 6-8" ahead of the muzzle due to the escaping gasses ahead of the bullet pushing the water out of the way for that very short distance.) -WGM-
