Sci-fi dorks don't want you to know this, but pump action shotguns will still be used because they don't care about different alien atmospheres, and are less likely to puncture a ships hull. (hexbear.net)

What about different gravity would that cause guns to fail? Americans go to the moon and don't even test any guns smh my head

If a gun can fire upside down it can fire in a zero g environment.

What if there's more g's, enough g so the firing system can't eject the shell or go back far enough

a pump shotgun no, but potentially some gas operated systems? i'm not really sure how gravity/vacuum would affect any recoil operating system like that.
