: Here's a question that I've wondered about for ages.
: In "Chosen One", Roxton and Marguerite take a little swim to escape and naturally take their weapons with them. Would that effect the mechanism of the gun? Several movies have shown the hero shooting a gun while underwater - is that accurate/possible?
: Thanks!
: JanetI don't know the true answer but I would imagine so. Considering the use of gunpowder, (and the make of the firearms, which should all be circa 1920) and it not working well once wet, I would think they wouldn't be able to fire properly until it dried out. Of course I'm probably completely wrong but I'm sure somebody on the board has the correct answer.
