: suck you dry... but you'd probably have exacerbated blood loss at least.
: As for swimming in guts, since most of the stuff getting sucked out of you

: if you're outdoors, there's no enclosed volume to fill with anything, so
: it's irrelevant.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I figured it. In the story I included the zero-G element. Basically, the way I figure it, space ships entering battle situations would intentionally decompressed as a safty precaution against explosion.
As for sucking internal organs, I wasn't exactly sure of that either, I just know from the end scene in ALIEN RESURRECTION, but hey, it's Sci-fi/fantasy, we can play fast and loose with physics for the sake of drama.
