<p> It was indeed. I've long believed that gunpowder would burn in
vacuum. Of course that experiment was conducted under special
circumstances. I have no doubt that gunpowder will ignite and burn
when the products of combustion are confined sufficiently to
maintain a self sustaining reaction. I'm quite sure firearms will
function in the vacuum of space.</p>
<p> Hmmm ..., as in science fiction stories, I wonder if future
planetary explorers will include firearms in their kits? I know I
would! <span class="moz-smiley-s11"><span>8-)</span></span><br>
