Hi

There's no reason at all why an air pistol (gas powered ala paint ball), hand
gun, rifle, cannon would not work in space, but remembering Newton's Law about
every action having an equal and opposite reaction, the effect would be very
interesting to say the least!!! However, quite a but of work has been done on
completely recoilless weapons. I suppose it is possible that SHADO might know
about such research and applied in some way.

In 'Survival' when Paul Foster looks to fire what looks like a Browning
Automatic (and remembering that gravity on the Moon is one sixth that of the
Earth) unless the charge had been adjusted in some way, he would have been
knocked back about 30 feet if he had fired it!

I'm not aware of the 'cannons' - if that is what they are - on the interceptors
being used in any UFO episode. Maybe that are part of the anti-recoil system
that would be needed to launch the Interceptor Missile without having an adverse
effect on the flight path of the Interceptor.

Best, Griff
