Sci-fi dorks don't want you to know this, but pump action shotguns will still be used because they don't care about different alien atmospheres, and are less likely to puncture a ships hull.

You're viewing a single thread.
pump actions are reliable but don't care any less about atmosphere than automatic actions, gas-blowback or recoil operated firearms produce their own gasses/forces (from the bullet propellant) and contain their own oxidizers (no need for atmosphere)
basically just get a power armor suit with a full-auto multipurpose flechette/microgrenade launcher mounted to one of the arms or your shoulder.
What about different gravity would that cause guns to fail? Americans go to the moon and don't even test any guns smh my head
If a gun can fire upside down it can fire in a zero g environment.
What if there's more g's, enough g so the firing system can't eject the shell or go back far enough
If the g is so high that it can't eject, chances are you can't lift the gun anyway.
a pump shotgun no, but potentially some gas operated systems? i'm not really sure how gravity/vacuum would affect any recoil operating system like that.
