It appears the bullet travels about three feet and stops... Who needs Kevlar, when you can just go swimming in the deep end!!!!!

Interesting fact: Below two feet, you are invulnerable from even rifle bullets. If they hit you, they'll be moving too slow to break the skin, much less injure you.

Interesting, bet a fmj 06 might be a bit more.

Did a quick search, found this: Mythbusters Bulletproof Water

Cool to see how just the water stopping the results in perfect uniform expansion of the bullets.
Maybe giving his lady one of those bullets, in the pics with the stones in the middle, is enough for her to not gripe about his shooting 400 rounds per week.

water is not compressible so all the water around the bullet path absorbs the energy. After seeing what water can do in a gasoline engine and some things on Modern weapons water is no joke as a defense item and as an offensive weapon. I also believe most modern aluminum CNC uses water jets to cut the aluminum.

I feel like I heard about a way around this on here somewhere but I could not find the thread it was in. I was, however, able to locate the article.

Claiming up to 60 yards effective range, underwater, with some of their rounds
