The Gyrojet, technology from the future for today... except it was 1960's.
On looks alone, you might suspect the gyrojet is a prop from some ambitious space action movie.
However; the Gyrojet was in reality one of the only real attempts to make an actual space weapon.
Instead of firing bullets, the Gyrojet fired rocket powered projectiles! To varying success I must add.
While conceptually It was an engineering and ballistics marvel, it just wasn't practical enough to capture any government contracts.
Less than 2,000 were ever made, so they are now prized collectors items, with the ammo costing around $800 a round with no guarantee to actually function.
The Gyrojet MK2 is a property of MBAssociates.

If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see next, feel free to let me know!
