Why is there a gun aboard the international space station?
there is one gun in space, its not really in the ISS its in the Russian Soyuz capsule which is attached to the ISS and is there incase of an emergancy where they need to evacuate and come back to earth. the Soyuz is small but fits three people and has alot fewer peices then the US Shuttle. the Soyuz was designed to land in the middle of the Soviet Union on land not on water so the gun was placed for protection. the gun was specialy designed for this and to maintain a light weight the gun has three barreles it can fire flares, shotgun shells, or rifle bullets, depending on how it's loaded. The gun and about 10 rounds for each barrel are carried in a triangle-shaped survival canister stowed next to the commander's couch. The gun's shoulder stock opens up into a machete for chopping firewood.
