This is due to modern primers being air sealed, as well as containing an oxidizer, which gives the explosion in the primer enough fuel to get to the gun powder and shoot the bullet. A musket would most likely not work due to the absence of an oxidizer, though theoretically possible, the concept would work better on paper then in practice. Though to reiterate; modern gun will have no problem functioning in a vacuum such as space.
This has been... Your fact of the day.  so the minnmatar ships COULD work
My main doubt doesn't have to do with firing- it's that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. With the lack of friction in space, an autocannon could propel a ship backwards. |

They would still slow down- and the engines would have to be able to make up for every direction the turrets fire in. |
