I know six inches may not seem like alot, but water will also slow down a bullet quite a bit. Water just can't get out of the way fast enough. Mythbusters did an interesting episode on the topic. I can't remember exactly, but I think 3ft was the limit for high velocity such as rifles and up to 8ft for most pistol calibres.
