Capital Ship Missiles

[Qunitinius~Verginix]

Well, for the topic of Fire arms, you could image that say on a battery of guns, you have the main firing chamber inside a sheilded area of the ship and then the barrel is sticking through the sheild. It works kinda like that in Warhammer 40,000; Battlefleet Gothic. As You can see in this picture, only the barrels of the cannons all along the sides of the ship



You Could Imagine also, that there would be an airlock, one that was confinded with the barrel and was broken/opened when the cannon fired. These thigns would make it impossible to have a small turretbeing a fire-arm.

However, you can acheive the same effect asd a gun with a rail-gun like system. Have the, projectile fired using magnets and you have something better then a gun. OR, have the whole firing mechanism in the bullet/projectile itself, it is air-sealed and activated electroically. (I saw this on Daily Planet the other day)

All of these thigns could make it possible to have fire-arms in space, but they might be hard to incorperate/unbelievable.
