I'd re-invent the wheel if you want space guns

caseless ammo has issue with chamber overheating, but a gun in space would overheat without some kind of active cooling anyway
so might as well do it
and why bother with gunpowder that has no other use to you? just feed the same bipropellent you would use for RCS into gun chamber and gun go boom
it would allow you to change ballistics
maybe you want maximum power to fire as fast and straight as possible, maybe you can get away with using up less fuel, maybe you don't want to blow a hole in ship's hull and maybe you want to lob a grenade at ballistic curve to hit ULA sniper hiding behind a hill
