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.
Discuss.

yeah but what if they are some sort of special guns, i mean we are talking about halo something that takes place in the distant future where space battles are the norm, i think they would have developed a sort of gun that could fire with no atmosphere.
