This is a 23mm gun supposedly on Salyut 3

I remember in David H. Ahl’s 1970’s era books on computer games in BASIC where you would type them in and play them, there was a starship battle simulator that used everything from lasers to conventional machine guns and cannons. I remember in physics class, I asked if you can fire a pistol or rifle in space and/or on the Moon and it would work because the powder has it’s own oxidizer to burn. I assume the Russki’s 23mm cannon works on that same principle.
