dawww, they're like little flowers of death.

Oh nifty. I wonder what gun they used so the chamber didn't bust.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

They said it was a 1911.

That's surprising. I wasn't aware 1911's were underwater capable, I was guessing a glock.

Also, that looks awesome.

do you realize how many different variation there are of the 1911?

there's a reason it's one of the most customized guns in the us.

Yeah, after doing some research, the more customized 1911's apparently not only shoot underwater, but cycle with > 90% success.

[LD50]

they're damn fine firearms. you'll get out of them what you put into them.

[SpleenBeGone]

After talking to my dad about this, apparently the 1911A1's he used in the navy fired underwater with all stock parts, and only need a heavier firing pin spring to properly cycle.
TIL I really underestimated a very old gun.

[LD50]

yes, yes you did.

I need some of these to put in my bouquet.

[SpleenBeGone]

That's awesome.

it's a win win

Danny gets to fire firearms

Tes gets pretty metal lotuses

[Affray]

That is really cool.
Plus it would be cheaper and faster to buy the rounds and fire them in a pool than it would be to buy the materials to craft tiny little flowers and invest the time crafting them.
