[HOE] Unity Question... [PEG/SHANE/WHAT THE HECK, EVERYONE!]

["Ray C." <r_a_c_@hotmail.com>]

Well folks, seeing as "Lost Colony" is neigh on being out everywhere, I 
though I might as well clear up the one question that I have over The 
Unity...

While it isn't *THAT* much of a Spoiler, I'd better give it some space...

SPOILERS!!!











Don't make me sick WC Omer and Lil' Red after you!!!  (

OK, that should be good enough.

The question is this, basically:  Will firearms work in space?

Now, Junker-Built Lasers and Blasters are most likely (As in, "Alright, darn 
it, they work!"), and Rail Guns are *SURE* to work, but I'm talking your 
regular Firearms here.  Seeing as they operate off an explosion, most likely 
requireing oxygen, then I'd say no, but, lacking good, scientific knowledge 
on the subject...

OK, I'm just lookin' to see if anyone really looked into it.

Oh, and, yes, I do know that, if they do work, that the recoil from it would 
definetly work as a small rocket!  :-)  It might go something like this...

Baldy ( http://www.gamersrest.com/gr/deadlands/Baldy.htm ):  "I'll use my 
Buffalo Rifle to blow that sucker away!!!"

Me:  "OK, fine, roll."

Baldy:  "YES!  FIFTY!  Hit the sucker!  Eat lead!!!"

Me:  "The creature flinches from the impact of the .50 BMG round, but holds 
tight, meanwhile, Baldy goes flying off into the endless void of space!"

WC Omer:  "MAN OVERBOARD!!!"

Anyhow, thanks for any help you folks can give.

Ray.

PS:  Working on stats for the Harrowed Steven Hawking today...  Maybe done 
tomorrow!!!  Maybe, mind you!
