I'm digging that combat tomahawk!

[FONT=&quot]I with zen_man on the combat tomahawk. Glock is nice but a tomahawk is old school.[/FONT]

Not to mention the tomahawk LOOKS cooler!

I have routinely carried a Glock underwater equipped with marine cups and a lanyard while diving, swimming and while kayaking in white water areas. I have no plans on firing it underwater but I must carry it under very wet conditions and want to have the firng pin to be able to travel when it may be saturated with water. I also use Ranger ammo. I am a Glock armorer and can obtain marine cups, but Glock requires a letterhead from the LE Agency I work for before they will sell them (Don't ask me to get you some). I would be leery of firing one but it is nice to know that I can if I am ever attacked by a carp.

This is so cool. We all have Glocks, but our interns have to share one.

Was this predicted by me on http://www.scubaboard.com/showpost.php?p=3010314&postcount=17 ?

rec.scuba.... we're swerving your way!

How much lead dive weight do you remove from your BC? The Glock cups are only made for the G17 9mm, so that pretty well means noob territory. A real SSIR ("SCUBA shooting it right") kind-of-guy would pick a G21 .45acp at least. So how much do 19 rounds of 9x19 ammo weigh? How do your compensate your buoyancy after dumping half a mag and doing a tactical reload? Unless you got one of Larry's Stainless Steel Glocks- wow- that would complicate things!

Doesn't the over penetration of the 9mm Parabellum ruin the meat of the Whale Sharks?

RoatanMan points out a very interesting buoyancy compensation problem with the Glock. So you’re tooling around popping caps in whale sharks, leatherback turtles, Ganges River dolphins (for the fresh water diving enthusiasts) or that annoying little SOB who forced the dive boat to have a late start your are continuously dropping weight. An lets face it, who can stop at only one or two clips?

So being new to the sport, can the more advanced divers answer how much weight should I add to so I am not positively buoyant at the 15-foot safety stop?

This brings me back to the combat tomahawk. With this nice little tool the weight remains constant as you slice your way through the endangered species list. There is no tricky under water clip exchanges that the less experienced diver has difficulty performing. Lets face the facts, PADI specialty course Underwater Combat Handgun Techniques leaves a lot to be desired.

In addition, the combat tomahawk allows you to add the coral species to the target list. Sure you can bounce 9 mm rounds off the coral head but the level on damage is increased several times over by the use of the combat tomahawk.

I am just say, pound for pound (2.2 kilo for 2.2kilo) the combat tomahawk is my dive knife of choice.

The bullet will deviate from the tragetpoint after the shoot,to not minder 30 cm on 4-5

meter wail it turn centric around his middelpoint.a pneumatic harpun with automatic is the

best kown underwatter fight middel wail silent and powerfuel.....

In a SeaHunt episode Mike Nelson tested pistols and revolvers underwater.

Glocks will fire underwater, the blast is directed away from your ears and is no louder than a Bang Stick. The effectiveness is more than enough to kill something. I would imagine useful range about three feet or less. Pulling a Glock and pressing it to a shark might result in a big mess for both diver and shark. Please do not do such things, do not shoot guns underwater, do not use them to kill sharks or shoot passing JetSkis as tempting as that might be.

Bang Sticks are still available best I can tell and if somebody really needed to work in the water with dangerous creatures then that would be my choice.

Take only memories and leave only bubbles.
