Most frequent reason for a gun exploding is a blocked barrel. A bullet is pushed by high pressure gas (40,000 to 60,000 PSI is common), and that gas needs to escape. A blockage stops the bullet, making it an effective cork. Pressure escapes wherever there is less resistance.
Other causes include excessive powder charges, incorrect powder type, metal failure due to internal defects or corrosion, and using wrong ammunition.

Can you use guns in space?
yah because it contains saltpeter which releases oxygen when ignites. I have my doubts but you can fire a gun underwater. But don't try it as it could explode the gun barrel. And if it doesn't rupture the gun the first time you try it, then it could explode the next time you fire it even out of water.
