Have astronauts ever taken guns one some far protection from potential Moon Russians or for aiu% Notic testing?
Has a mean ever been than in space?
that brought a gun far when they return to earth
We a bunch of sisn' mineuts got attacked by some waives or something onetime " they started doing that
russians test (artid s we against same satellites
be bunch of cosmonauts got attacked by some waives
Such is life in the zone.

Just so you know a gun would fire in space, because the bullet is propelled by gases expanding in the barrel, caused by a small explosion at the base of the bullet. As we know, oxygen is required for combustion, therefore, it is lucky that bullets have enough oxygen locked inside it to actually fire. Ignition starts in the bullet, not outside of it. That's why you can fire a gun underwater too.

Oh but you look pretty smart, at least that's how you trying to make yourself look... ******* ...

I was hoping to have a scientific discussion with you, but you added that bit on the end, so no

#6 to #5 - anon (06/12/2014) [-]

"scientific" he says... doesn't even know how bullets work... riiight

"doesn't even know how bullets work"
Yeah, because I totally didn't explain how they work, only missing a small detail
*******

#8 to #7 - anon (06/12/2014) [-]

You tried to point out how a gun wouldn't fire in space and you say it was only a small detail? Sure...

If you even thought for one second that a gun could fire a bullet without having oxygen inside it, then you really don't know how it works.

dude just chill man not everybody knows how guns work

People pretend to know things they don't. Especially not when they're educating people.

#33 to #28 - hairyjonson ONLINE (06/13/2014) [-]

yea true that is annoying but instead of making them look stupid why not educate then.

it's what happens when you a smart ass who doesn't know **** .

Modern ammunition doesn't rely on oxygen to create the explosion, they use their own primers to start the reaction, meaning that it would fire on vacuum just as it does under water.

Pretty sure the whole reason the Gyrojet was invented was so astronauts could shoot soviets in space.

#25 to #15 - anon (06/13/2014) [-]

It has no recoil. That's why it was considered.

I have that pistol in Fallout New Vegas, mod. I thought it was a made up gun this entire time.

#17 to #15 - vaelmor ONLINE (06/13/2014) [-]

Not really, guns don't have any trouble whatsoever firing in a vacuum. All the oxygen needed for the gun to fire is chemically stored inside the gunpowder.

#22 to #17 - jdferret (06/13/2014) [-]

That may be true, but just think how advanced, cool, and completely unnecessary not to mention expensive a proprietary, self-contained mini missile launcher would be! But seriously, its almost more of a ridiculous gimmick to get a leg up on Russian technology than that AG7 Space Pen that took Ten of Thousands of dollars to develop.. Oh well, da pen writes underwater good, and on greasy paper so who cares?

You mean this? only slightly relevant I know

you don't know the real meaning behind the AG7 space pen do you

kinda hard to tell when someone is being serious or joking on here since alot of us decide to be stupid ***** half the time

this does include me

You don't understand how recoil works in space do you.

astronauts actually do bring guns i think, my 4th grade teacher or some **** told me it's because when you shoot the gun and jump at the same time it shoots you backwards, making it effective for hoppin around quickly

how would a gun fire in space without being specifically made for that purpose (and if it were made for that purpose what would there be to test)

and wolves howling at the moon where for stories written centuries ago.
should i turn my brain off for these jokes? am i taking them too hard? just like that dick?

#36 to #34 - hostofswarms (06/13/2014) [-]

normal modern guns can fire in space, for the same reason they can be fired underwater.

#37 to #36 - skulldan ONLINE (06/13/2014) [-]

normal guns can fire underwater.
I REQUIRE PROOF
and not a gun that was specifically made to fire under water

#42 to #37 - ajweston (06/13/2014) [-]

also, gunpowder is a mixture of fuel and oxidizer, so it doesn't need external catalysts to function in a vacuum.

#43 to #42 - skulldan ONLINE (06/13/2014) [-]

neato...
appart from the audio
but thats to be expected filming underwater
also the distance of the bullet was a bit under whelming but to be expected.

#39 to #37 - hostofswarms (06/13/2014) [-]

Fires can't burn in the oxygen-free vacuum of space, but guns can shoot. Modern ammunition contains its own oxidizer, a chemical that will trigger the explosion of gunpowder, and thus the firing of a bullet, wherever you are in the universe. No atmospheric oxygen required.

The only difference between pulling the trigger on Earth and in space is the shape of the resulting smoke trail. In space, "it would be an expanding sphere of smoke from the tip of the barrel," said Peter Schultz an astronomer at Brown University who researches impact craters.

The possibility of gunfire in space allows for all kinds of absurd scenarios.

I read that the Russians mounted a 30mm Twin Rear Cannon turret of a Bomber on Mir to see if it could work as a defence to the station.

Russians. They do, -correct if I'm wrong- have at least 1 unexplained '' none of worlds business '' thingy, a satellite in orbit though. Don't know about the rest of the world.... Feel free to contribute to our knowledge about them.
