    Yes, despite the lack of oxygen a gun fires because of a sudden impulse to the gunpowder delivered by the hammer of the gun.

    It will fire (the powder contains the oxygen it needs).
    The bullet will come out a bit faster (no air resistance).
    It will go farther than it would on Earth (less gravity)....and no it won't go all the way around the moon..

    only one man can do dis....non other than RAJNIKANT..!!!!!!!!

    If that is truly what you believe...well, be my guest. Who am I to question such wisdom and knowledge?
