Questionmarktarius 10/02/23 10:28:37 AM #7:	The moon has about a sixth the gravity of earth, so the bullet will go about six times farther. Crimson_Corsair posted... Modern gun powder and primer caps don't need oxygen. Cartridges will fire without issue in space. This.

Compsognathus 10/02/23 10:36:11 AM #9:	The issue wouldn't be so much the chemistry of the firing as it would be the wild temperature and atmospheric impacts on the materials of the gun itself. Like most stuff designed to be exposed to space is very specifically designed to deal with it. Which a traditional gun is not. The surface of the moon swings between temperatures of 250 degrees to -200 degrees depending on if it's day or night. That's a lot of stress on something not built for it. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:976429029] in What happe...
