Tornado: After being triggered, a tornado forms at the end of the gun for a few short seconds before the bullet sinks down to the bottom and surrounding bubbles float to the surface. This is a 230gr HST leaving the Kimber 1911

Firearm aficionado Andrew Tuohy has filmed himself firing a range of weapons, but never before underwater. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210560/Splish-splash-bang-bang-Stunning-photographs-ex-marine-shooting-handgun-UNDERWATER.html)

But not just for fun ........

Tactical flowers, heh, I'll have to remember that next Mothers Day.

Can really see the bullet spin in that tornado cloud, pretty cool.

There are more pics at the link, in case you didn't look.  Different guns/calibers make different formations.

It can't be very good for the gun to fire hollow points underwater. I've seen people shooting FMJ stuff, but seems like a hollow point would try to start expanding while it's still going down the barrel. I wonder why he doesn't just fire them into a barrel of water like they do in ballistics labs.
