I just finished reading [i]The Cole Protocol[/i] (Quite addictive) and one part stood out to me. The part where Captain Keyes and the ODSTs jump into outer space and use their battle rifles to distance themselves from the ship. The author tried to be intelligent and use Newton's Third Law of Physics to support this, however, when one thinks about it, guns would not even work in space at all because there is no atmosphere.

i am entertained by the shortsightedness of those in this thread it has to do with chemistry and physics, also several posters on this thread have not even read the replies before them so they view as rambling clones. guns can fire due to the fact there is a chemical mixed with the oxygen and sulfur which contains oxygen and when the hammer strikes the primer it causes the compounds to mix and give the force necessary for the slug to travel out of the chamber at high speeds. if you want a argument of halo defying laws of reality research before you open your mouth.
