Setting the fun and sarcasm aside for a sec, wouldn’t the 22tcm9r be a good fit here. Very low recoil, stupid fast, not overly destructive.
Smokeless powder contain the required oxygen inside the powder granules. That's why you can fire guns underwater.Wouldn't any gunpowder-based weapon require oxygen to burn the powder?

Time to get started on those Phased Plasma builds ! You have to wonder if standard munitions will function reliably, in the vacuum environment, and temperature extremes of space. Better to retro back to CO2 propellant, till something more dependable can be devised, than risk a total failure.Either a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt range or a Callahan Full-bore Auto- Lock.

The atmosphere merely causes the projectile to slow down. In space a bullet would go a long way without losing energy, only subject to the weak forces of gravity caused by other proximate masses.
What gun could they use without them heading off faster than a speeding bullet in the opposite direction?
When it gets hot, the powder might detonate.
it’s that hot, you’ve already been irradiated by the source of the heat by Gamma rays.
No one wants to go to venus or that way anyway....too dang hot. Lol. The moon "only" gets up to mid 200s F
Guns can be fired underwater. Plenty of demos. Glocks can be had with specific firing pins for such. IIRC, 17s were used in Australia for sharks. Bang sticks fire shotgun shells. The oxygen is part of the chemistry of the powders.
Glock carbine
Really?! Dang! I thought it was cold in on the moon.
