ARMA 3 Like all ARMA Series was about realism firstly a SCAR being fied under water. Secondly when you fire any bullets into water the bullet looses all force.

as they said, it's a special gun for underwater use :P

LOL Its a bloody SCAR but yeh its special he he lets roll with it man.

I don't remember them saying that was a scar but special guns and ammo can be fired underwater effectively.

now if this gun had the special ammo it would fire under water.

and of course i got a link of an automatic rifle being fired underwater.

Watch the video and the weapon not only shown used but indicated on screen think top left corner you can clearly see it stating SCAR.
:)
But even if it was lol "A special gun" ballistics would show that the bullets fired under water would dramticly be reduced.

The ignorance is astounding in this comment^

The gun is fictional & based on a real world weapon which can shoot underwater and since it is set in the future what is deemed realistic now is not necessarily the case for then.

Numerous weapons have been developed which shoot flechette rounds underwater which have an effective range as he stated in the vid this being 30 metres for this particular weapon which is not unrealistic at all. So please stop trying to sound like a fire arms expert because you played BF3.

The gun is not a SCAR it is called the SDAR 6.5mm, and fires specalised underwater rounds for engaging enemies at 30 metres and under effectively.

Bohemia’s war against Arma 3’s misinformation misuse

From GI.biz: "Back in October, a video clip started doing the rounds on social media, showing what appeared to be the Ukrainian artillery attacking Russian tanks. The footage was shared thousands of times across social media platforms.

There was just one small problem; the footage in question was not real.

It was, in fact, a video of gameplay from Arma 3, a military simulation title made by Czech studio Bohemia Interactive.

This is far from the first time the game has been used to fake footage of warzones. In the past, Arma 3 has been used to spoof videos of conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria, as well as military action between Israel and Palestine. It’s even been used to fake videos of a fictional war between India and Pakistan. This isn’t even the first time that footage of the Ukrainian war has actually turned out to be Arma 3 footage."

When these videos make their way into mainstream news it just shows me how incompetent these networks are. You could blame YouTubers, click bait titles, you could try to do something about it as the dev, but these are huge news networks with a lot of money poured into em and hundreds of employees. Perhaps if they weren't so set on being first they'd ensure that they aren't putting out fake footage as often as they do.
