What would happen if you shot a gun in space? My friend and I were talking about it.  Would the gunpowder need oxygen to combust? or would it fire?

Lol it's like talking about how does the sun have oxygen... but really there's a slightest chance it would fire if you're up in space because the gravity is much lower in space than here.

I'm back... not sure for how long though!

I think it would depend on the type of gun.
