Bump Fire/Slide Fire Stocks

I got excited thinking I would be the first person to flame you about how to use search function, and then shooting down your dreams by screaming "PROHIBITED"
 
You know, the government could pay off the national debt selling slide flire stocks for $100 a piece. They'd sell thousands a day.

So tempted to request an ATT to bring my AR to outer space... I can be the first Space Marine.

What's the best caliber for asteroid defense?

Would a piston gas system be better for use in the vacuum of space?

Do guns even work in space? That's a serious question by the way. I've never thought of it before. I don't think they would, due to no ambient oxygen to burn.

lol. I'm thinking .50BMG. And yes, definitely go with the piston system. YES! I can actually answer this question - guns do work in space because gunpowder contains its own oxidizer. In addition, muzzle velocity would be greatly increased because there's no air resistance.

In answer to your next question, no - you can't fire out of the solar system because there aren't any firearms with a high enough velocity to send a projectile clear of the Sun's gravitational well.

The powder contains an oxidizer. There is not enough ambient oxygen in the case/chamber/barrel to burn, and even if there was, it could not be delivered to the burning powder quickly enough to get the rapid violent reaction necessary for our lead delivery systems to work properly.

So they would fire....the real question is whether they'd catastrophically fail due to the extremely low temperature of space....or how badass it would be to fire it and hear absolutely nothing.

Also, that would start an intergalactic war the likes of which I have not seen since this very morning when I defended my Bum against Klingons......

Are you sure? what if you aimed really carefully and slingshotted it off the moon like the appolo mission?
 
Guns will work as long as you're in the spaceship/station. The Russians, I believe, issued guns to space crews. Although my guess is that it was so they could pop themselves when they figured out they weren't coming home :(
