OT So, if you are a navy SEAL and you're carrying a gun, intending
to use it as soon as you pop out of the water, do you have to put a
cork in the gun barrel, so the barrel doesn't get any water in it?

Condoms were used in WW2 for this purpose.
You do not have to remove them when firing the weapon.

It would have to be a pretty ****ing big condom to also cover the area
around the firing mechanism. Covering just one end of the rifle
doesn't do a whole lot of good.
