No problem on the reply. Well i don't know for a fact about the bottom of the ocean for a year but it might very well could fire for all i know. I know when on field tests before the glock became the big deal they would do some harsh tests. Its one of the very few, it not the only, that can be fired under water. They also dropped it from 10 feets, from moving vehicles, set on fire, etc etc. Very cool guns.
