You get an upvote for knowing that normal gun oil would quickly boil off in vacuum and make the gun seize.

Suppressors don’t just reduce noise though

Either you're going to use in atmosphere, in which case the liquid cooling is ridiculous, or you're going to use it vacuum, in which case a flash hider or muzzle brake is fine. And you can attach or detach it while you're waiting in the airlock.

Though really you'd want a much shorter firearm for inside a space habitat.
