It would actually be a lot harder (essentially impossible) to catch a bullet in space than on earth. There’s no atmosphere to slow the bullet down so it would be hitting your hand at the exact same speed as when it left the chamber. And there’s also a lot worse consequences since if it tears a hole in your space suit and you’re not close to an airlock you’re essentially fucked.
