What would happen if you shot a gun in space?
Yes, I have googled it. I don't have a clue what their talking about, please explain it to me.

Nothing.
/thread.
No really... it would start to lose speed and eventually fall back to the earth.

but there would be nothing to slow it down right? i think he/she means, if you were in space surrounded by nothing and you shot a gun, what would happen? the bullet wouldn't stop unless it hit something.

Not to flame you, but your name sort of explains you.
It would not fall back to earth... Unless he was aiming at the earth itself.
It is sort of like shooting a gun under water... How would you spark it?
From what i just read, if you could fire it (keyword fire... in space... false) it would move until it hits something.

| It would do anything, all you would see is the trigger moving, and the bullet won't even move, because it needs a spark to flame up the gunpowder to move the bullet, and for a spark you need air, and in space no air. SO /END.

| Due to the physical laws, since there are no forces to stop moving, it would just keep going and hit a random alien in space, and then it might just stop on the dead alien. So nothing at all, just space, then it would keep going, doesn't accelerate, just maintains the same velocity.

| It won't even get out of the gun, no force to bring it out, because even if it were forced out, there would be no spark to make the gunpowder ignite which causes the bullet to accelerate.

Dark matter will slow it but the bullet won't stop for a long time unless something catches its gravity field.

Keeps going for ever.
Until it rams into something.

You guys are idiots. If the velocity is not great enough it WILL fall back down to earth. Ever heard of gravity? Otherwise it WILL collide with a body that has significant gravity.
(Yes, theres a possibility that oxygen is present in the barrel of the gun.)

he never said where he was >.> if he was in space with no surrounding bodies of mass there would be no gravitational pull to make it fall back down right?

technically, space still has small masses of elements, which eventually would slow down its progress. If you meant a perfect vacuum, then it just wouldn't fire. Plus, the small masses of elements thing assumes traces of oxygen in the barrel.

Have you ever fired a gun in space?
No.
There is NO oxygen in space, and the likeliness of there being ANY oxygen "traces" there wouldn't be NEARLY enough to ignite the gunpowder!
Not ONLY that, but if anything, the bullet wouldn't even leave the barrel! You'd just go BACKWARDS, because of the way a gun works.
The easiest way I can explain it, take a hammer, take a bullet.
Hit the end of the bullet with the hammer. You'd die. Why? because the bullet will go backwards, towards you, instead of going forwards. Why? Because there is nothing to make it go forwards, a gun is designed to do that, which is why, in the impossible chance that a gun would be fired in space, then you would go backwards. The bullet will stay put. |
What if he's standing on a planet, (with no oxygen nor atmosphere) and fires the gun straight up? If he were to do that he could handle the recoil, being able to hold the gun etc.
