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.

What would happen if you fired a gun in a spaceship I've heard that the life support system aboard a spaceship would produce air so high in oxygen content that the air would be super flammable?
Well, the air wouldn't catch on fire or explode, but the bullet would probably put a hole in the space craft, doing a lot of damage there and because there is no gravity the bullet would become sort of like a comet.
Why wouldn't you take a flare gun into space?
You might think a flare would not burn in a vacuum, however, they will. The oxygen for the flare to burn is already chemically in the flare. And flare guns HAVE gone into space- as emergency equipment.

What happens when you shoot a gun in space?
The gun will fire- gunpowder does not need external oxygen to burn. Assuming that you are in weightless conditions, when you fire the gun, you would be pushed in the opposite direction- action and reacting. If it is a rifled firearm, you would also twist in a direction opposite the spiral of the rifling. The bullet will go a very long way until it hits something, or encounters the gravity well of a plants, moon, or star.
