    That could even be conditions for the firing pin to hydraulic.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    I take it you mean, lots of water in firing pin/spring compartment, causing rear of pin to stick like a suction cup and suddenly let go and fly forwards? Or just go forwards too slow.

    Would be interesting to soak / assemble any bolt under water and see just how it works when totally water logged.
