Eli5: How are submarine deck guns able to still be fired after being submerged in salt water?
In: 5399
The gun is mechanical not electrical and so fires if properly maintained. Plus the ammo is stored inside the ship so it doesn’t corrode. Drop any gun in water for a few minutes, take it out, shake out the water, load it and it will most likely fire. You can even find video of rifles being fired underwater.
