Assuming the ammunition didn't leak water into the powder;
and there is enough air for the powder to burn. The back-pressure from the water in the barrel "may" slow the bullet enough to cause the weapon explode in the area of the action. (Sounds good anyhow).

Water guns - I love it! LOL

There was quite a discussion about firing guns underwater some time back. Perform a search and look for the author "blacknet"

It was quite interesting and very informative.

do you remember the gun in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Compressed air fired a sphere of glass which contained an electrical charge.

Diveshop operators should be very wary of people looking to learn how to decend but not ascend.
