No, no firearms of any kind have ever been taken into space.  It would be 
extremely dangerous to have live ammunition in space, and it would have no 
application.  What I said about the physics of firearms in space was pure 
theory.  It's never actually been proven, but there's no reason why it 
wouldn't be true.
