Does this violate the Outer Space Treaty?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty#Key_points

>The Outer Space Treaty represents the basic legal framework of international space law. Among its principles, it bars states party to the treaty from placing weapons of mass destruction in orbit of Earth, installing them on the Moon or any other celestial body, or otherwise stationing them in outer space. It exclusively limits the use of the Moon and other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes and expressly prohibits their use for testing weapons of any kind, conducting military maneuvers, or establishing military bases, installations, and fortifications (Article IV). However, the Treaty does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit and thus some highly destructive attack strategies such as kinetic bombardment are still potentially allowable. The treaty also states that the exploration of outer space shall be done to benefit all countries and that space shall be free for exploration and use by all the States.

>The treaty explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet.[3] Article II of the Treaty states that "outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means". However, the State that launches a space object retains jurisdiction and control over that object.[4] The State is also liable for damages caused by their space object.[5]

>>132057159
>cant you just fire regular bullets from the moon
If you try to fire conventional firearms from the moon, it should still work even in a vacuum since modern bullets contain an oxidizer.
But after the first couple of shots, your gun is going to melt. Firearms cool themselves by venting heat into the surrounding air. There's no air to absorb that heat up on the moon.

>since it has no gravity
The moon does have gravity. About 16.5% of Earth's gravity.
It's just less powerful, not nonexistant.

>like the bullets will reach 15,000kmph within seconds
What? How exactly would they be going that fast?
Seriously, what?

>and they will shred through any space ship foreign or domestic instantly
Good luck hitting a target in space. You know that everything's moving relative to everything else, right?

>it will be safe because any bullets aimed at the earth will turn to liquid before they hit the ground because the atmosphere
I don't think that your bullets could even reach Earth, honestly. Shit's orbiting faster than the bullets' muzzle velocity.

Militarization of space is both terrifying and making me quite optimistic at the same time. Nothing's really happened in space for decades because their's nothing to really gain politically from it but militarizing it may help boost space exploration but the idea of having weapons literally pointed right at me above my head is terrifying.

We're nearing the end of the Age of Decadence. America is going to get effectively refounded a la the Roman Empire and we'll enter Age of Pioneers again
