yep, in fact guns go better in space, no gravity, you could even to shoot at the moon, you wouldn't hear anything though. Gunpowder requires no air, since it carries it's own oxidizer as part of the powder,
It is not possible to burn a fire in outer space because fire requires oxygen to burn, and in the vacuum of space where there is no oxygen, there can be no combustion. On space missions, fires are not ignited but rather prevented through strict safety protocols and the use of non-flammable materials.
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.
Fire in space can appear blue because the lack of atmosphere means there are no particles to scatter the light. This allows the higher-energy blue light to be more visible. However, the color of the fire can vary depending on the composition of the fuel and the temperature at which it burns.
Columbia heated up and broke apart while entering the atmosphere.
That would depend upon whether the charge used to fire the weapon had its own source of oxygen or not. The explosion is a very rapid oxidation and requires that oxygen to explode. Most modern smokeless powders contain their own oxygen source. If the temperature is hot enough, and that may be difficult in space, it should burn and allow the weapon to fire. If there is an internal source of that oxygen, a gun will fire normally in space. Because of the lack of atmosphere and reduced gravity, the bullet will travel faster and farther.
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.
Yes, the fact there is no air in space doesn't matter, because inside the case, the gun powder contains oxidizer wich allows the reaction to occur. but because your in space and due o newtons law "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" firing the gun would send you in the opposing direction, but the bullet wouldn't stop going!
A Fire Arm is a gun
you shoot and arrow because if you notice you fire a gun it involves fire comming from gun powder. there is no fire when you shoot an arrow
fire can't exist in space, because there is no Oxygen in space and thats what fire feeds from
Take it to a gun smith.
This is the ammunition the gun is designed to fire, it is not hard on the gun.
By chopping off the tentacles that come out of their stomach. You can do this with the ripper, or more easily with the line gun secondary fire.
If you fired a gun in a spaceship it would act like a gun on Earth, regardless of gravity level. But it couldn't fire in open space since there is no oxygen for combustion and since it is two degrees above absolute zero and lubricants will freeze jamming the gun.
Fire occupies space!
bluff gun
No.
