My point is that water is hard on bullets. Some bullets do not like water and completely fragment, which they would not normally do if shot into a person. If a bullet will not mushroom in water, it will not mushroom at all, I guess its good for that.

I suppose it could be used to rule out bullets as unsatisfactory.
