The Shillelagh system carried by M551s like you picture was only fired 5 times in combat, all at bunkers during Desert Storm.

Wrong. There's no Oxygen in space ergo no FIRE arms. QED, quid pro quo.
>>29598734
Did they put a wood veneer strip on the dash to add class?
>>29598860
Modern gunpowder has its' own oxidants, ergo, no need for external oxygen.
>>29598860
Smokeless powder has an oxidizer in it, and produces its own oxygen after ignition. The bullet's primer would still work in a vacuum, so the gunpowder would ignite, and oxygen would be provided.
>>29598860
Gunpowder has its own oxidizer and doesn't need oxygen.
>>29598882
>produces its own oxygen
>>29598879

You realize all goyim are their targets right?

Obviously, >>29598919 doesn't know.
>>29598305
Complex guns that require a lot of lubrication wouldn't work in space, at least not for very long.
>>29598952
potato gun?
>>29598919
It has an oxidizer, which is a chemical that contains oxygen. When ignited, the oxidizer releases the oxygen it has and the rest of it leaves as gas or other residue. Nothing is "created" or "produced," those were just fuck ups with words.
