Guns... in... SPACE...

its all physics......firstly the bullet would leave and travel....and keep going and going and going until acted upon by an outside force

as for making you the individual fly back, i doubt it, the recoil would have to be far greater than that to move a mass so large, it will move you probably, but not very much and nothing you couldnt control with your wrist, and with the absence of gravity i dont think it would be difficult

my question is would the bullet even fire, seeing as how space is ******** COLD the metal my act funny, also since there is no O2 in space, it cant burn, possibly

im not sure on this just a theory....im surprised nasa has not done any testing on this (or have they)

Problem is, on earth metals rubbing together make a natural oxide lubricant, in space, they'd just fuse.

And thats why in starwars they use lazors. Moonraker FTW!

Well, guns would work in a pressurized container I believe but I'm sure it would cause a lot of damage to people. Not just by the bullet.

Also it could put hole through the hull.

Meh, star wars.

Screw conventional weaponry, I'd bring a railgun with me!


Whoops, wrong railgun......

Nice one. Toadking Lemonpartys hotlinks.

Screw conventional weaponry, I'll take a railgun!



Oops, wrong railgun...... sweatdrop

That last one is much easier on the eyes.

If everything being used (ie the gun and ammo) were made on Earth, it might work. You probably wouldn't move very fast though. You CAN shoot in space if it's made in Earth because the oxide covering has to be intentionally removed in order to make metal fuse or to remove the oxygen to stop it from burning.
