Alright /k/, lemme share a half baked story I got with you so that I can learn more about the mechanics of the setting and maybe enjoy some shitposting.
In the far off year of 2001 the world sits on the brink of war. The USSR and USA meander closer and closer to war. One consequence of this is that the space race is still in full swing. The Americans have built a semi-permanent space station on the moon where 5 NASA astronauts conduct research. As this is going on the Soviets launch their own six man mission to the moon to compete with the Americans. The astronauts, being a rather friendly bunch plan to greet their new 'neighbors' amicably and suit up to meet them near where they plan to land and set up their base. Everything is going well until one of the astronauts is sent disturbing news from Earth: a nuclear detonation has occurred in San Fransisco and the USSR is suspected to be responsible. Overcome with rage this astronaut seeks vengeance on whoever he can and ends up attacking one of the soviets, puncturing his suit and killing him. The Americans drag their comrade away while the soviets make a break for it, neither side capable of communicating with each other in space. With one man dead both sides realize that there is no going back. They arm themselves with what ever they can, scalpels, improvised weapons, and survival rifles (Americans: M6 Aircrewman survival rifle, Soviets: TP-82) and prepare to fight to the death.
How does it go down /k/?
Other questions:
What sort of damage could a 40 gauge, .410 bore, .45 colt, 22 Hornet, 22LR, and 5.45 do to the integrity of a space station, using the ISS as a stand in for our moon bases?
What happens when a space station or space suit is ruptured and depressurizes? Is it like the movies? Is it worse?

Were soviet astronauts really issued a hammer and sickle like in the pic?

I'm pretty sure they got the hammer. The sickle on the other hand...

heyyyyy firearms don't work in-vac

>>34234032
Yes they do. The powder has its own oxidizer. How else do you think they would be able to shoot in oxygen poor environments(under water) or even guarantee a consistent round?

Does anyone have that pic of the astronauts fighting on the moon with G11s and AKs?

When a human body is exposed to vacuum, every molecule of air is ripped out violently and immediately. this results in a lung collapse, preventing them receiving any oxygen. they would lose consciousness around less than half a minute and be dead in a minute or so. even if they were to be put in a pressurized environment, the other crew members would have to deal with the collapsed lung. also if you hold your breath, it'll be even worse.
tldr: unconciouss within 12 seconds, dead in around a minute

If exposed directly to a vacuum, but a punctured suit would retain positive pressure for some time depending on the severity

So your body wouldn't liquefy and be expelled from the suit?
