Do guns even work in space?
Don't they need oxygen for the gunpowder to work?
Will the bullet travel at high speed forever without stopping?

Yes, although metal parts might vacuum weld or joints might seize up

No, retard

Pretty much

Apparently they should work in a vacuum somehow (I can't remember who or what told me), but without air convection the chamber will overheat. In outer space the bullet will just enter a slightly elongated orbit or fall back down to whatever body you're orbiting depending on the way you shoot it. So yes, Mars warfare between American and Chinese colonies is possible.

radiation, ions, and space dust will create drag and eventually slow the bullet down
