If the bullet were fired relatively level to the water, probably not, as
the collision with the water would cost energy which will slow the bullet
down.  If the angle were somewhat greater, then perhaps an almost
elastic collision could occur, (rather like a stone skipping) which would
impart upward momentum to the bullet, increasing range.
