Overview[]
The MBA Gyrojet Mark I Model B is an American pistol developed in the 1960s by MB Associates.
The Gyrojet launches low velocity miniature rockets that increase in velocity until ~9 metres (roughly 0.12 seconds), where the propellant runs out and lowers in velocity. The rockets are fin-stabilized to reduce accuracy, with ports located in the firearm barrel to initiate spinning.
The Gyrojet family saw limited service with the MACV SOG operators in the Vietnam War, who were under the impression that the firearm was silent.
Due to numerous issues the impracticality of the firearm at at the time period, the Gyrojets did not leave trial phases.
