Right, they are always full of water. I made a proofing dart with a cup seal at the end. 20 GPM 200 PSI moves it along at about 5 feet per second. The pump was remarkably cheap to build.
The cable or mule tape is buoyant so that reduces friction and the water does too. I have read about this for years but never tried it.
