So I'm working on an adventure that will take place in an underwater habitat and I was wondering if anyone has any information on whether or not a firearm will detonate the bullet under the saturation of Heliox or Triox? Heliox is a helium/oxygen mixture with the oxygen being considerably lower than at surface concentrations (I believe around 10% as opposed to 21%) and Triox is a Nitrogen/Helium/Oxygen mixture that is slightly better at preventing the hypothermia threat from Heliox but is more likely to cause nitrogen narcosis. Anyway I called around to some research facilities and most of them were very familiar with the problems that could be caused but none of them really had an idea if a firearm would work at such pressures. They also said that at those depths its entirely possible that the bullets themselves may fail completely before they were ever even fired. Anyone have any input on this?
