Reality gets in the way of everything. Really a bore! Some of the most efficient Mars ships designed by the Whole Earth hippy engineers, (re:Buckmiester) were no more than the fuel tanks of shuttle craft linked together, remodeled, given a suitable power package, atomic or hydrogen. Cheap but efficient. I love sci-fi and trek entertainment, but such a waste of materials and good engineering. tch! tch!
I never saw Firefly, but supposedly it’s very possible to adapt firearms for use in vacuum, you just need special ammunition with oxygen already in it. Gas-operated semi-automatics might need more work done to get them functional, and if the weapon was left exposed to vacuum for long periods of times you would probably have some serious problems from vacuum cementing, but you probably wouldn’t have to modify a basic revolver or bolt-action rifle much to use it in space.
All ammo has the oqygen already in it, dang it! Cartridges are sealed up air tight in brass.
Gunpowder already has everything it needs. Even in an atmosphere, there’s no way you could get enough oxygen down the barrell of a gun quickly enough. As I recall from previous threads, the biggest problem with a gun in vacuum is that the lubricants would probably “dry out”. Which would, of course, be easy enough to solve, and would not be a problem for short exposures, in any event.
And B5 certainly doesn’t have a perfect science record, but one must admit that they do a good deal better than Star Trek. Zero-g in an accelerating spacecraft is no worse than “artificial gravity generators” in a non-accelerating spacecraft, and there doesn’t seem to be variable strength of gravity in Trek, either.
Like every single firearm currently in existence?
Enterprise takes place in an alternate timeline; nothing that happens on that show has any relevance to any other Trek series.
(The producers decided that they didn’t want to worry about maintaining continuity, so they set it in an alternate reality so they could do anything they wanted.)
And they said this where?
A television set can be glimpsed in Captain Pike’s quarters in the original pilot for Star Trek. The funny thing is, it’s not a flat screen or wall-recessed model, it’s a big console-style television circa 1964, on the floor!
I think it’s the first Trek-related Urban Legend.
I don’t, either, but I have to correct your miscorrection. Actually, your arguments are close to being correct, but your interpretation of them is backwards. Do some reading about the real world.
Probably
Honestly, I don’t know if the alternate timeline idea is official or just another one of the famous Trekkie post-hoc explanations.
Supposedly, however, the guys making the show have admitted that they have zero interest in preserving continuity.
From what I’ve read, that isn’t true.
So, what’s your opinion about Klingon foreheads?
You forgot the whole Chekov urban legend. Was he added to cash in on Monkee-mania or 'cause the commies were pissed at us for not having a Russian on board? We may never know.
My opinion on klingon foreheads? Somewhere between classic trek and the first movie, the entire race took the “ribbed for her pleasure” concept just a little too far. 
What do you get when you cross trek’s klingons with warrior-caste Mimbari from B5?
I’m not quite sure, but think of the money you’d save on helmets.
So I can tell Worf you think he’s a …nah, I don’t have the guts.
Great idea, BTW. I thought it was 60’s video technology.
Item the First: Could you please explain your meaning here? How is my argument backward? I’m seriously curious. Thank you.
Item the Second: Due to the fact that you’ve only been posting for, at most, two and a half months and I don’t know your posting style that well, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that the condescending tone I read into your last sentence of the quoted post was unintentional and entirely subjective on my part.
So’s the one in Tom Parris’s quarters in Star Trek: Voyager.
Then again, Tom only had one because it was an antique.
Actually I’ve seen only a few Enterprises. TOS coincided with my high school years, so I’m a grumpy old geezer who thinks the current producers have messed up the franchise. However, I think there are enough continuity problems in TOS so that it can’t be rationally totally maintained - though they seem to try a bit. Not that I’m complaining - at the time TOS was so much better than any other sf series (with continuity, not counting good Twilight Zone episodes) that I can forgive the Great Bird a lot. Imagine - I think it was the first show ever on tv that knew that the speed of light limit counted for something.
