A physicist risks his own life to prove a scientific concept

Arabiaweather.com- In a bold step, a physicist carried out a unique experiment in which he put his life to death in order to prove a scientific concept, and the physicist "Andreas Wahl" proved in an experiment that was filmed in a video how the speed of a bullet slows down gradually when it is fired from under water. Contrary to what is shown in movies and video games, which show that bullets shoot underwater with great force in a straight line.

Wahl appears in the experiment standing in the middle of the swimming pool, then pulls the trigger of a 1.5M rifle to fire a gunshot towards his chest, and the video shows how the bullet loses its speed before it falls to the bottom, without even reaching halfway due to the underwater resistance.

The scientist emphasized that water molecules are closer than air molecules, which constitutes a major obstacle to the movement of the bullet under water.
