Life is like a movie: If it is shot, is it safe to dive into the water?

The "sore" question is definitely one that everyone has made when watching blockbuster action movies.

Certainly everyone has seen action movies, but our heroes who are shot by bad guys jump into rivers and pools to hide. In theory, this is a smart move, because liquid can slow down the bullet and help us find a safe place. But in fact, what? Can we avoid bullets by diving into the water?

Water has 800 times better resistance than air.

Water has a resistance of about 800 times better than air, so if an MG-42 bullet leaves the barrel at 915m / s, it will stop after crashing into the water about 76cm. But if you use smaller bullets (pistol or shotgun), you can get down to 243cm.

We also have to take into account the shooting angle : if the bad guy shoots a gun at an angle of 30 degrees below the surface of the water, then the bullets will probably not go beyond 150cm, no matter how small the bullets are and go at high speeds. . So if we jump into the water then dive deeper than 250cm (2.5m) , the chances of survival will be much greater than running on land.

But if you meet a bad guy, then he will . run after me on the shore, just wait for me to stop oxygen, then I will shoot, then only countries raise my hand for the goods!
