A .50 BMG or a 9mm?
According to Myth Busters, the fmj 9mm would be lethal at that distance while the .50, even with armor piercing rounds, would shatter into harmless tinsel within three feet. The .223 and .30-06 performed exactly like the .50 BMG, shattering into harmless tinsel within just a couple of feet, using only fmj in all cases. The key to survival under water against gun fire, it seems, is supersonic bullets.
