In terms of vacuum operations, keep in mind that metal-on-metal contact points can cold weld themselves together (if it wears down to bare metal).
The bullet has too much force behind it anyway. I was thinking more things like the moving parts of the action, or possibly the magazine getting stuck in the well.
But probably not for the Ariadnan AKNovy Yarost-1, right? Because of Ariadna's generally lower tech level? Which is the weapon that didn't work in vacuum and necessitated the release of the Yarost-2.
I think they are from rather traditional material. But that should be not that much of a problem. At least in my imagination, Ariadnan Troops are seldom involved in Spaceship Boarding or EVA fights.
Doesn't Aleph make extensive use of leased Ariadnan security to bolster their boots-on-the-ground (or hull) due to their largely impartial stance towards conflicts between the spacefaring super powers?
Not as far as i know. They are used as QRF on Paradiso. The Space Battles fall to the Nomads, Haqq and PanO
You are correct, I got Aleph and O-12 mixed up. However, this doesn't necessarily mean they get deployed in Space in Space, it could mean their inter-planetary commitments is limited to pressurized areas for the vast part?
