I have never seen a picture of the US rifles used underwater, what do US SEALs use?

But there are also unknown unknowns ;-)

I saw a video of an M4 take out from under the water and fired. It blew up. Then the video showed an HK416 doing the same thing and it was fine. The video was somewhere on HKpro.com

Spear guns! Big Grin Much more effective underwater.

Combat swimmers carry their weapons with them. And not in water proof bags either. They emerge, break the seal by retracting the charging handle and bolt so the water can run out of the bore, and then engage their targets.
