I don't put too much into that article since it was written by Chaim Stein. He is not well-known in the Gun industry as an expert of guns. He only peddles his SureSights.

I would like SA to do a torture test with real experts, not pretend ones!

Just listening to the abuse my XD9 can take makes me proud! Though the most abuse mine will ever see is occasional rainy day.

If I recall smaller bullets will retain more energy and velocity when traveling through water. bigger bullet = more friction and therefore quicker loss of velocity.

IIRC a .22 or .17 will travel farther in water than a .50 cal.
