Blog 2 [Shahbaz] Resistance

We know for a fact that air resistance hinders movement of objects. However, what I hadn't perceived in my wildest imagination would be the amount of resistance offered by water. Here's an experiment done by the "SlowMo Guys", a British duet who film various fun stuff with their high-speed camera and playback their findings at regular speed. 

Here, we see them shooting a 9mm underwater. Typically, the range of a regular 9mm should be 2400 yards when shot over land. However, you're in for a surprise how far the bullet went underwater due to resistance. 


Here's another experiment done with an AK47, a far more stronger weapon.
