This video explores the Gyrojet Carbine, Mark 1 Model B, a unique and futuristic firearm. The description highlights the Gyrojet's innovative rocket-propelled projectile system, designed to be lighter and cheaper than traditional firearms by circumventing high internal pressures. It details the advantages of the rocket fuel combustion and the spin-stabilization mechanism. Despite its creative concept, the Gyrojet faced intrinsic accuracy issues that prevented its market success. The video focuses on a rare carbine variant from MB Associates, with only a few hundred produced in two models.
