    It’s the surface tension that causes the shockwave, soapy water wouldn’t have the same effect.

    And yes, dynamite explosives are rather more dangerous under water. Which is how torpedos work to break ships without much regard for armor.

      Right so its the water that causes it to break because of the surface tension of the water.

      Sounds like you are arguing against my phrasing while agreeing with what i understand. Im confused why we seem to be in a disagreement.

      Maybe you can school my dumb ass though, can you eli5 what would need to happen for you to say it was the water that does the work on stopping bullets?
