Andrew Tuohy is an amateur photographer and filmmaker, and a handgun aficionado. He posted this video of himself firing a .40 Glock 22 underwater, on YouTube, and the clip is already viral with 300,000 views since Friday.

As he tries out different weapons in a swimming pool and tries to capture the different effects they have, Tuohy posts his findings on his blog, Vuurwapen.

In this video, it appears like a small tornado is formed after the bullet is shot, and a few seconds after, it plummets to the bottom of the pool. It only keeps its direction for about 2 feet (0,6 m).

These findings were documented with a Pentax Optio WG-2 waterproof compact camera, shotting at 120 frames per second. Apparently, the gun was not damaged during the making of this video.
