Honestly, I would think that is about the last place you would need one. I can't think of any use for it other than perhaps suicide if something happens and there is no chance of you coming back. Even for that, there are certainly better options. Then I remembered that Cosmonauts land in the middle of Siberia (I think) after re-entry.

Landing in the middle of Siberia with wolves and Siberian tigers for company I think I would want a gun that could also fire flares to alert the rescue forces to my location would be a good idea.

Now if the cosmonauts run into any space robots, they'll get pushed (or shoved) down the stairs. Great.
