It CAN be done with any gun which uses modern cartridges (which are sealed), but it is EXTREMELY dangerous to do, and absolutely SHOULD NOT be done. Attempting it may result in injury or death to the firer.

Can a gun be shot under water?

Maybe. Most will fire underwater- the cartridge contains powder that does not need air to burn. Some guns may even fire safely underwater- not all can (water blocks barrel). However, the resistance of the water limits the distance the bullet will travel to a few ft. The military of several countries have experimented with building an "underwater" gun" that had rather iffy success. There IS one specialized type of gun used underwater- called a "Bangstick". This is a long metal rod with one cartridge in a holder at the tip. Used as a last defense against sharks, when shoved hard against a shark, the cartridge fires. The bullet hits the shark, but more damage is done by the gasses generated by the cartridge firing, being blown into the shark.
