Can the ak47 shoot in space?

Yes, because the explosive does not require air.

Will an AK fire in space?

No atmospheric oxygen required. Fires can't burn in the oxygen-free vacuum of space, but guns can shoot. Modern ammunition contains its own oxidizer, a chemical that will trigger the explosion of gunpowder, and thus the firing of a bullet, wherever you are in the universe. No atmospheric oxygen required.

Is there a gun that can shoot a bullet into space?

Quite simply, no. Orbital velocity is up around 18,000 mph. No small arms cartridge has a muzzle velocity of over 3200 mph, and most are about 2/3 of that.

Is there a bullet that can reach space?

No. There is not sufficient muzzle velocity for a bullet fired from any civilian or military firearm to reach space (escape velocity).

What would happen if you fired a gun on the moon?

Gun: Yes. The oxidizer is within the gun powder, so a gun will fire in the vacuum of the Moon. The bullet will travel significantly farther, because it will fall slower and there will be no air resistance.

Girl, 9, accidentially kills instructor in Uzi accident

Are there guns for space?

Apparently, there are guns in space. Specifically, there are usually one or two handguns on board the International Space Station, NBC News Space Analyst Jim Oberg reports . The guns belong to the Russians, but "anybody has access to them," Oberg said. The guns are described as all-in-one weapons.

Can guns overheat in space?

There would be no air to push out of the barrel before the bullet. It would then continue at muzzle velocity until acted on by some external force. If you were in freefall it would be very much like holding a rocket out in front of you but as others have noted, the barrel would overheat very quickly.

Are guns banned in space?

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty bans the stationing of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in outer space, prohibits military activities on celestial bodies, and details legally binding rules governing the peaceful exploration and use of space.

Can a gun fire underwater?

If you're wondering how it's even possible to shoot a gun underwater, gunpowder contains oxygen — a key element in the firing process — the gun still goes off exactly as it would on land.

Does US have nukes in space?

Space-to-Earth weapons

As of December 2022, there are no known operative orbital weapons systems, but several nations have deployed orbital surveillance networks to observe other nations or armed forces. Several orbital weaponry systems were designed by the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Do we have secret weapons in space?

One response to these trends was the creation of the US Space Force as an independent military service. But the US wants to do more to show that it shouldn't be messed with in space. Right now, the US only acknowledges one space weapon—a ground-based communications jammer to interfere with signals sent from satellites.

Are guns stronger in space?

Firearms in Space

First, the vacuum present in space would have no effect on a firearm because a bullet containing gunpowder does not require oxygen to fire. The vacuum also creates an advantage for the firearm because there is no air to slow down the bullet, so a firearm in space has a theoretically infinite range.

Is it illegal to destroy the moon?

The 1967 treaty prohibits placing nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction in space, and it forbids the establishment of military installations and bases on celestial bodies. The document stresses that such heavenly bodies like the moon shall be used “exclusively for peaceful purposes.”

What is the fastest bullet?

The . 220 Swift remains the fastest commercial cartridge in the world, with a published velocity of 1,422 m/s (4,665 ft/s) using a 1.9 grams (29 gr) bullet and 2.7 grams (42 gr) of 3031 powder.

Will a bullet fired in space go forever?

Assuming you are floating freely in space the gun will work just as it does on Earth. However, the bullet will continue moving for many thousands of years, eventually coming to a stop due to the friction from the diffuse material found in 'empty' space (or when it encounters another object).

How cold is the space?

But what of the average temperature of space away from the Earth? Believe it or not, astronomers actually know this value quite well: an extreme -270.42 degrees (2.73 degrees above absolute zero).

Is there a color in space?

If we add up all the light coming from galaxies (and the stars within them), and from all the clouds of gas and dust in the Universe, we'd end up with a colour very close to white, but actually a little bit 'beige'.

Can a bullet leave Earth?

Even a bullet, fired straight up at the maximum speed a gunpowder blast can accelerate it to, will never leave the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. A combination of gravity and air resistance will slow it down until it reaches a maximum height, whereupon it will fall back down to Earth's surface.

How much faster is a bullet in space?

Those galaxies are travelling at around 200km/s (124 miles/sec) as the Universe expands, whereas a travelling bullet can reach speeds of only 1km/s (0.62 mile/sec).

How fast does a gun shoot in space?

In space it wouldn't matter how fast you shot it. It would reach terminal velocity moving 1 or 1 thousand mph. It would also just burn up in the atmosphere. Think of it like a very small meteorite hitting the earth.

What would happen if I shot a gun in space?

Once shot, the bullet will keep going, quite literally, forever. "The bullet will never stop, because the universe is expanding faster than the bullet can catch up with any serious amount of mass" to slow it down, said Matija Cuk, an astronomer with joint appointments at Harvard University and the SETI Institute.

Would an M16 work in space?

In real life, however, a weapon like the M16 would be extremely difficult to operate in space. Using weapons in the extremes of space, including wild temperature swings and low gravity, would present challenges for both those who design and carry the weapons.

How far can AK-47 fire?

The AK-47 and AKM, with the 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge, have a maximum effective range of around 300 meters (330 yd).

How do Navy Seals carry guns underwater?

Each of the projectiles came packed inside a self-contained, watertight tube that also functioned as a barrel. This design meant the pistol was essentially silent below the water or on land. The gun might be better described as a “pepperbox,” according to Dockery.
