First of all, you are wrong, you can use a gun underwater. for instance if someone in a submaine shot someone else, in the same submarine. You meant that you cannot use a gun which is immersed in water, which again is incorrect, you cannot fire many powder based guns if they are immersed in water, but it is possible to make powder based guns which can be fired while immersed in water... it's just pointless as
CO2, compressed air or bungee powerd weapons are a more eficient option

Obviously we don't have enough word-thingies...we need more word-thingies in English so we can have as many word-thingies as your first language!!!!!
Also it gives those Oxford people writing their dictionary something to do!!!!!
