As smokeless powder contains an oxidant, it would in fact fire in a vacuum.
Lower gravity, would result in less rapid drop, which would result in considerably increased range.
And, without the atmospheric drag, the speed would be higher, but accuracy would be reduced due to aerodynamics being moot..
Ogmeister said, about 1 year ago
Almost totally correct, Zod, except for the accuracy part. The entire reason for sleek bullet design and rifling is to overcome the effects of air resistance.
Spin is imparted by the rifling in the barrel for gyroscopic stability; this keeps the bullet pointed straight ahead when the effects of air resistance would otherwise cause it to skew.
Skewing would make the bullet go off course due to aerodynamic forces, and it would be harder to predict where it would impact, and consistency of impact point is the definition of accuracy.
So - no air, no accuracy problems!

So, this is why I can’t get a date! Everyone who knows me thinks Wiley must know me and had me in mind when he drew this. Zod’s and Ogmeister’s comments are the same as I was thinking, but since the bullet would weigh 1/6 of its Earth weight, would that change the burn rate of the powder? On the other hand, the powder charge would also be lighter…I think my head hurts. And why wouldn’t anyone take a gun to the moon? I never leave home without mine!

1911: No, the burn rate will NOT be affected by the 1/6 drop in gravity, since it’s a chemical process, not gravitational. If you like, it depends on the mass but not the force of gravity (what you’re calling “weight”, although that term is ambiguous).
Isn’t science fun, girls?

Science is always fun! Especially when dealing with combustion propelled objects in non-atmospheric conditions and reduced gravity.
