Line 611:
*** Joss even admitted he was wrong about this point, so no reason Jayne couldn't be too.
**** I'll buy Joss being wrong, but Jayne being wrong is trickier; the guy eats, breaths, and sleeps weapons. He knows more about firearms than anyone else on the ship.
***** He eats, breathes, and sleeps weapons... in an atmosphere. Doesn't necessarily mean he knows how they behave in vacuum, since vacuum is one of those things he tends to try and be avoidin'.
*** Maybe Jayne never had the opportunity/need to fire Vera in a vacuum, and he didn't think it would work. Remember, he took it off a guy who was trying to kill him, so he probably didn't get the operating manual to go with it.
** Or maybe Vera uses liquid based lubricants and would likely jam without pressure. Having solid chunks of frozen oil inside the mechanism might have stopped Vera dead, but by firing it before pressure is lost, the oil might have been hot enough to vaporize instead. thus jam free. Oxygen might have been slang for pressure.
