You know the ones-somebody lands underwater for some reason holding a gun. Then rises to the surface and starts shooting. Is that possible? Will a wet gun fire?

It as amazing how many read this as firing UNDER water, but to answer your question, yes it can be fired, if you watch, they will lift the weapon out of the water with the muzzle tilted down to allow water to drain out, once the water is out, it can be fired. If they did not drain the water and fired, water is not compressiable, and steel will yield and it will blow up.
