[quote who="InfectiousFight" reply="8" id="1852060"]Bullets don't need oxygen; all of the reactants are in the propellant. Otherwise, how could you ignite the propellant inside of an airtight cartridge, or fire a gun underwater? Guns work perfectly fine in space; in fact, back in the 70's, the Soviets put a 30mm cannon on one of their early space stations (Salyut 2, to be precise) and destroyed a target satellite with it.[/quote] I am shocked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salyut_3
