Remember that story in Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, published before the first moon landing, when the guy was transferred to the moon base and discovered there were no computers for him to use? They were all busy tracking the rounds of a machine gun fire fight, in low orbit trajectory about four feet off the surface. Suddenly, someone yells “DOWN!” and they all hit the deck as the thousands of rounds blow through the space station bulkheads.
That story was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. That story must be at least 50 years old!
