No. In addition to the lack of air resistance to slow the bullets down 
which Chris mentioned, there's also not nearly as much gravity to make
the 
rounds deviate from a straight path as there is close to (within 20 km
or 
so of) a planetary surface. (The aircraft which managed to shoot
themselves 
down dove after firing, so while air resistance slowed the shells enough
to 
let the aircraft catch up gravity curved the shells' trajectories
downwards 
enough to make them hit the aircraft.)
