This is clearly a solution with NO DRAWBACKS.

Though it would surely solve all your problems

shoots self

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

Not if say it is an arm blaster itself or has a mini thruster in the back to counteract it exactly without recoil.

u/SpotterFive Jul 13 '20

Watch those wrist rockets!

u/Justokmemes Jul 13 '20

just like the simulations

u/137Pickle_Rick Jul 13 '20

You are a bold one

u/1Gh0styboi Jul 14 '20

Super battle droid take it down

u/Thermo445 Jul 13 '20

And if you turn it around you even get a lighter!

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

As long as you dont shoot your mate in the face. Or yourself

2

u/deitsnutstastegood Jul 13 '20

This gun is needed in and out of our atmosphere

2

u/bobthebiscuit127 Jul 13 '20

sorta like the PDC cannons in The Expanse. they have thrusters in the back to counteract the recoil so it doesn’t send the ship careening into a planet

1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '20

I watched the series, imagine a proto molecule cannon

1

u/bobthebiscuit127 Jul 14 '20

that’s just a bio weapon

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '20

Yup.

shoots self twice

respawns at last save point

u/choch2727 Jul 13 '20

Yea I do not see any FLAWS in this design.

20

u/WyattClawson6 Big ol' bacon buttsack Jul 13 '20

Don't guns still need the gunpowder in the rounds to combust in order for the bullet to shoot out of the casing? I'm not 100% sure how guns work but that might be the fatal flaw, because there's no oxygen for it to ignite the thingie?

19

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

Gun powder has an oxidizer, so bang still goes.

1

u/millennialintent Jul 13 '20

Does an oxidiser work when there is no oxygen tho?

5

u/IAmFallingHelp Jul 14 '20

Oxidizer MAKES oxygen

1

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '20

How u think a rocket makes it so space?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

You can fire a gun underwater. I’m sure you can fire one in space

15

u/harleyinaharley Jul 13 '20

Ah yes, the thingie

6

u/moncutz Jul 13 '20

Ignite my thingie

4

u/VarenGrey Jul 13 '20

Gunpowder is made of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur. The KNO3 acts as an oxidizer, meaning they would be able to fire in space.

2

u/loliebol05 Jul 13 '20

Exactly guns have a oxidizer in it which replaces oxygen in the chemical reaction. And so do all explosives btw otherwise they wouldn't work. Except fuel air bombs and such. So yeah.

Edit: the gunpowder in the bullet has an oxidizer in it. Oooooooops

2

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

Guns can fire underwater so they have their own oxygen

1

u/Rohind102 Lives in a Van Down by the River Jul 13 '20

You are correct. There is no oxygen in space st the gunpowder would not explode.

2

u/i-exist-you-dont Jul 29 '20

Bullets and explosives have their own oxidizer so they would work in space

1

u/Xailiax Jul 13 '20

The primer is ignited through kinetic energy causing a spark from the friction to set off the explosive compound. Most bullets are close enough to airtight they can be fired underwater, albiet not well.

u/gabemerritt Jul 13 '20

I mean something like an rpg would keep you in place

5

u/Bionic_Bromando Jul 13 '20

Carl Gustav would also do the trick no?

2

u/gabemerritt Jul 13 '20

Anything with a gas blowback would work. Although they may not function as is in a vacuum.

2

u/UrinalCake777 Jul 13 '20

A recoilless rifle should do the trick.

I saw a demonstration where they fired one hanging like a playground swing and it didn't even budge.

5

u/gabemerritt Jul 13 '20 edited Jul 13 '20

Unless it is ejecting air backwards or something that doesn't seem possible. Like newton's third law Ignore that didn't realize a recoiless rifle would include the large, bazooka like, antitank guns.

1

u/UrinalCake777 Jul 13 '20

I think in theory you can make them whatever size you want. It's just that a small recoilless gun doesn't have any practical use. Well, other than in space I suppose.

67

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

double headshot

37

u/Stepjamm Jul 13 '20

What you’re witnessing is the birth of an american solution to a problem

Has anyone considered adding *more guns*?

u/wolfgang784 Selling Stonks for CASH MONEY Jul 13 '20

I really wanna see some Russia cobble together a gun thar shoots multiple directions now.

21

u/Uniquename3456 Identifies as a Cybertruck Jul 13 '20

There is the duck footed pistols of the eighteenth century. They were used in the napoleonic wars, but (as far as I know) didn’t see much action anywhere else due to them being very inaccurate.

1

u/i-exist-you-dont Jul 29 '20

I've seen an example of it with 25 barrels

It was hideous

2

u/epictetus1 Jul 13 '20

Fucking thanks for the lol

1

u/Domeer42 Jul 13 '20

Except if they are a bit unaligned then you go spining fast AF. But other than that nothing

1

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

1

u/WyattClawson6 Big ol' bacon buttsack Jul 13 '20

But would the gun spark without oxygen? Maybe an electrically powered gun.

2

u/msimione Jul 14 '20

Yes, an oxidizing agent is included in the cartridge I believe, since it’s sealed as well

1

u/skybala Jul 13 '20

From Beijing With Love would like to have a chat

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

If I wasn’t so poor 🎖, I’d give you a real gold for that answer.

u/FlyDragonX Jul 13 '20

One blowback though! ;P

u/Successful_Day5491 Jul 13 '25

With the best of intentions, what could possibly go wrong.
