RE: [DL] Gun + Water = ???

["Jeff Yates" <jyates@primaryfunction.com>]

Several replies have already been made, so I'll add these:  Weren't very
early shotgun shells made of paper? Water very easily ruins that.  And
wouldn't a barrel full of mud be very bad when you pull the trigger too --
if you havent' ruind the ammo, it goes off into a pretty plugged barrel...
