Even if weapons can be fired from underwater, my whole point is that it's something that is so trivial & would occur so seldomly that taking the time & resources to implement it probably wouldn't be justified by the amount of use such a feature would get....
    When you fire a gun while swimming its not exactly underwater when the target is onshore, similar like firing a weapon while on a rope or while on a parachute, even better, throwing a grenade while driving a vehicle.. but, I agree with you, doing nothing to advance a game, coz it's so cumbersome to do, is an comfortable option.

    I may have deliberately mis-interpreted what you said, but I did not put words in your mouth. Shooting whilst on the grappling hook or in a parachute I can support, and you can already throw 'nades from cars, but the underwater bit I just can't support. It doesn't seem like a feasible or believable thing to do, which is why you never see or hear about it being done. I don't think adding such an improbable feature would advance the game in any way.

    Again, it's not about shooting underwater, we still got no underwater maps, but shooting out of the water while swimming!

    Just recently I played the Extreme Revenge custom map where shooting out of the water would be ideal to kill the 3 cave foes (in the second cave).
    The only current option there is to do a ledge-take-down (for one) while the other two foes don't notice you?! (seriously?) However this is the only way to complete this mission.
