That’s why I say you need to provide a closed liquid coolant loop around the barrel that would ve integrated with your ship’s heat management system, to replace the air cooling of the barrel.
The development of the M1921 water-cooled machine gun which led to the M2, meant that the initial M2s were, in fact, water-cooled. These weapons were designated Browning Machine Gun, Cal. .50, M2, Water-Cooled, Flexible.
Bullets don’t inherently go up when fired, they go straight out of the barrel, the barrel is just inclined because of the sight alignment. You just realign the sights, this isn’t a difficult problem.
don’t come crying to me when your bullets go up so much they do a full loopdeloop and shoot you in the back of your head because you tried to fire them on the moon where there’s no gravity
What about barrel cooling? Getting rid of heat is a major challenge in a vacuum.

space ready since 1933! We really were ahead of our time!
Will the blood of my enemies suffice?
A little thick, but good enough.
Sugar is almost as corrosive as salt, so please make sure your enemies are on a sugar- free,salt-free diet, i.e., dying, saving you the trouble.
Way ahead of you there!
Only if they are cold blooded
radiators work in space, just not as efficiently. fill 'em with ammonia, put more fins on for larger surface area, I’m sure the M2 could be adapted.

no because without gravity to pull them back down your bullets would just keep going up and up and over whatever you’re trying to hit

yeah because of gravity
get rid of all the gravity and they’ll go straight up
No.

The moon has gravity.
i know we’re on noncredibledefense but please take this seriously
I bet all of them make a loud wooshing noise as they head straight up from the moon to earth.
you seem like an expert in moon warfare
just blow on it
