Its the Gyrojet pistol, fires "rocket bullets". Was shown on Guns and Ammo TV some time back.

Google is your friend.

Blimey......there`s a `rave from the grave`. Saw a demonstration of a Gyrojet pistol many years ago - what a load of rubbish ! Accuracy was pitiful......and so was the power produced.

The handgun is M.B.A. 13mm Gyrojet made in USA and designed by Robert Mainhardt and Art Biehl. Not a successful weapon.

Heck what a bunch of boring Nerds we have here..

Isnt there some kind if net etiquette forbidding members to give the right answer (that too on the first try) to a member who has taken all the trouble to research and pop up a quiz??

Ah, just goes to show that you shouldn`t pick something as obvious as the Gyrojet !

I remember seeing one of those funky guns in a gunshop in the 70's. Made enough of an impression on me that I never forgot about the story of them.

Kinda like that annoying kid in 2nd grade who you can't ever seem to totally erase from your mind...

Delicious....
Faster than the eye can see almost.

Absolutely right Mark - I first saw the Gyrojet getting on for 45 years ago in a magazine and it made an indelible impression on me. So `Buck Rogers`........ even more `Jetsons`.

Even if Mark and I had gone to the same school we wouldn`t have known each other - I`m nine years older...... however I note that you are only five years younger than Mark...........
I`ll bet `Swotty` Bana was a really annoying 2nd grader........and teachers pet of course !

Well, that's true...but I was reliably informed that you were a bit of a research scholar.

"but I was reliably informed that you were a bit of a research scholar."

In the second grade ? I was nine before I started researching girls................

By the way, those four holes in the base of the Gyrojet `cartridge` are the rocket venturis which are angled slightly away from each other so as to impart stability via spin.......Which worked - to a ( very ) limited degree of accuracy.
