that's been done. M1 drove off a bridge in Iraq and landed upside down in the river... :(

So, what happens when you fire a shot with the barrel full of water?

All Artillery comes with a muzzle cover, IF there's any water it just gets pushed out.
That's a 120mm M-256. Our investigation revealed that the fuses (they get screwed into the nose just prior to firing) fuses were assembled incorrectly causing premature firing. That manufacturer is now out of business. Further investigation showed some were shipped "armed". Imagine the poor UPS guy carrying around a box full of fuses and hits one too many bumps with the truck!
