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.

No. Physics violates the laws of Halo. But seriously, your problem is that the guns should not fire? I'm no scientist by any means, but they're obviously contained or something, with an independent oxygen supply. It's a universe where space-combat is a reality; do you really think their weapons wouldn't be able to fire in space? [Edited on 04.22.2012 5:29 PM PDT]
