It was a good episode - they only mentioned it at the end - but apparently they tried the same experiment with handguns which penetrated much further into the water. What it looks like is the amount of energy that a high speed bullet from a rifle has as it hits the water is to much for the bullet to handle causeing it to fragment, and dissapte all its energy.
