[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2782142, member: 3371"] If you fired a firearm in space would it have any recoil? Yes. You can fire a firearm in space by the way. Smokeless propellants contain their own oxidizer. [URL="http://www.livescience.com/18588-shoot-gun-space.html"] 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.[/URL] Also, if you were in orbit you could theoretically shoot yourself in the back.
