Neat video thanks for the post.
I always wondered why barrels don't explode when fired under water. The hydraulic force of water is very damaging, and water cannot be compressed much. In an engine, if antifreeze gets into your cylider, you either lift the head or break the piston.

I thought his highlighting the amount of energy "lost" (i.e. not applied to the bullet) when the roud was fired by the revolver vs. the pistol was very telling

I expected some gas/energy loss from the revolver, but it was more than I expected. I'd love to know how much...
I didn't think any gas escaped the chamber from the pistol ejection port...that really surprised me.

Goes to show you. Even when completely submerged, a Ruger P95 will not stove pipe. God Bless American made firearms.
I wouldn't knock Ruger, but with one round fired the slide was locked back and not possible to have a stovepipe.
I didn't think it could be pushed THAT fast.
