RE: OFFICIAL - GZG: Vacuum and zero/low gravity combat…?

Well, Sam, as embarrassed as I am to use the term, that's a paradigm
shift for me.

However, a slight change and

However, 'on the moon', it will either fall back, or escape [serious

Chaff (and any form of dust) will probably fall faster on the Moon than
on Earth. In an atmosphere, light particles are kept up by collisions
with air molecules. In a vacuum, they just fall straight down. So even
though the gravity is lower, dust falls faster.
