Talk:Decompression chamber

Hang on...

Does no-one think it's a bit strange that you can discharge conventional firearms in the area after de-compression? Surely, if there's no air, the propellant in the bullet would not ignite, and the bullet would remain in the firearm.

No, because gunpowder has all the components to fire normally anyway. It does not need outside oxygen to fire. In fact, bullets would be much better without air because there is no air resistance slowing it down. 68.164.151.30 22:15, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
