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.

People there is a video in the middle of the thread showing a gun shoot in a vacuum. So it is possible with our guns now and definitively possible with the guns in their future.
