Shooting Lion Fish underwater with a Glock

[DanVoils]

Any bets on whether it has the maritime cups?

Very cool. I can almost forgive the Robin Hooding.

Very cool and impressive and maybe I'll have to consider a Glock for my next purchase if it works that well in salt water. I would much prefer to do this than deep sea fishing.

The concussion would kill them if you missed. Darn cool!

 

[Who Dares Wins]

Very interesting! They have done a good job figuring out a great solution for the suppressor here!

Also, I think I remember reading that to fire a Glock underwater, you need to have special/replacement plastic cups/collets that hold the firing pin/spring in place. The cups have cut-outs that allow any water in the firing pin channel to get out of the way as the firing pin is trying to strike the primer. If trapped water is not given an escape route, it will slow down the firing pin significantly and may not fire the round.

True, Those are the Maritime Cups I referred to in the OP.

That's awesome! As an avid spearfisherman, we spend plenty of time trying to eradicate those little devils, and a full sized speargun is definitely overkill. I'm really intrigued!

A Hawaiian sling would work a lot better and be cleaner and safer.
It is also reusable.
A 22 short, long. or LR would be just as effective.

I'm thinking 22LR ammo wouldn't survive being underwater. It's not crimped like most center fire right???

I just do not understand why someone would attempt firing a firearm underwater.
If the firearm exploded. I wonder who they would blame and attempt to "SUE".
They had to get so close. A hand held harpoon would due.

Did you watch the video where they were test firing it in the gun vise?
THey actually look like they may be smarter than your typical basement dweller.

I have a trip planned in a week and a half with a dive Charter for the purpose of doing nothing but killing Lion Fish in the Caymans.

I am going to Honduras for the same thing. A Hawaiian sling works great. Cant take pistol.

Lead free ammo?
