Reddit reviews Amazing Stories of the Space Age: True Tales of Nazis in Orbit, Soldiers on the Moon, Orphaned Martian Robots, and Other Fascinating Accounts from the Annals of Spaceflight

> I mean I personally think we should ban (deadly) weapons from going to space at all.

You'd think that would already be the case but the Soviets, and presumably the Russians now, carried traditional firearms into space. The Soviets carried the TP-82, I believe largely claiming it was for self defense/survival when they'd land in the tundra. Salyut-3 had a 23mm cannon (although this is disputed as possibly being a different weapon, but some projectile weapon).

There's a book, Amazing Stories of the Space Age: True Tales of Nazis in Orbit, Soldiers on the Moon, Orphaned Martian Robots, and Other Fascinating Accounts from the Annals of Spaceflight, that I'm fairly certain has a chapter or two on these various weapons (I'm like 90% confident it is where I read about the TP-82).

I think that book talks about the 'sausage gun' which you can read a bit about here as well http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a18136/militarized-space-concepts/
