Can a gun fire in space? A gun will fire in the vacuum of space. And with approximately 14psi more force due to the lack of atmospheric pressure. The powder contains the oxidizer needed for the explosion. In free fall or gravity-less situation the recoil or 'kick' could move the shooter. BTW A sealed cartridge, so the powder stays dry, will also fire underwater.

Speaking of altering your perceptions, you need to go check that floor level sign by the elevator. One of the characters has come loose and fallen over 90 degrees. It's supposed to say -7 not 17. You live in the sub-basement not on the 17th floor. You are low not high, lay off them perception alterers for a while.

'Cept for recyclables which for some reason are usually kept in bins. "Also,...
