When shot at with a 50 cal rifle

The key point that they made was that you are only safe if you are at an angle from the shooter. However, if you are straight down, it will take far less than a 50 cal rifle for the bullet to retain its velocity.

This doesn't seem to be an issue. If you are in the water, the shooter is not going to be directly above you unless he is hanging out of a helicopter hovering above you.
