AAI Underwater Revolver is a specialized firearm designed for underwater use. It was developed by the AAI Corporation, an American defense and aerospace company. The revolver was designed during the Cold War era, primarily for use by Special Forces and combat divers.

Design and Functionality[edit]

The AAI Underwater Revolver is a six-shot, double-action weapon. It uses special ammunition designed to be effective underwater, where traditional firearms are ineffective due to water's higher resistance compared to air. The revolver's design includes a sealed system to prevent water from entering the gun and affecting its operation.

Ammunition[edit]

The ammunition used by the AAI Underwater Revolver is unique. It consists of steel darts housed in a plastic sabot, propelled by a standard gunpowder charge. The darts are designed to maintain their velocity underwater, allowing them to penetrate targets effectively.

Usage[edit]

The AAI Underwater Revolver was primarily intended for use by military divers. It provided them with a means of self-defense against potential underwater threats. However, the revolver saw limited use and was eventually replaced by other underwater firearms and weapons systems.
