Sure there are no trees in space but things work differently there and I doubt anyone would hear it. This post is more up the gun lovers alley in case they decide to go into space and want to bring their guns. Technically a gun should be able to fire as it doesn't require oxygen to fire though there are other problems like would the extreme temperature could be problematic. Then if those things go okay the lack of gravity means that the bullets would have no limit other than something hard to stop them, and of course recoil would throw the body backwards unless it was braced on something solid like perhaps the spaceship? and never mind those bulky space suits making gun play awkward. I'm going to go out on a limb and say give the guns a pass for a space trip.
Shooting on Earth | Shooting in Space |
|---|---|
Gun will likely function in average temperatures | Gun could malfunction when exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures |
Bullet will travel until gravity overtakes it, typically 1.5 miles depending on caliber | Bullet could travel indefinitely until striking a solid object |
Recoil can be absorbed by body | Recoil could propel body backward |
