watch out
she'll whack you for capitalizing both words in yer rhetorical question
then she'll hunt me down like a lizard for lack of capitalization
and soon enough the whole world will implode from the policing efforts of the guardians of language
and then you know what will happen?
that's right
beware

It would be interesting to hear from any physicists here if the bombs actually “bounced” or where they deflected by the water like a stone skipping across water?
I.e. if the bomb was dropped vertically onto the water it wouldn’t bounce so did they really “bounce”?

You of course need the rotation of the bomb to achieve the required effect (as you do if you let "hop" a stone over the surface).
So no the bomb does not bounce from the water surface as it would from a (sufficiently strong) trampoline.
And of course I am only a lowly chemist, but I am qualified to teach high school physics if need be.
