The Gyrojet pistol fired small rocket propelled bullets.The pistol was not very successful. I saw one for sale in a local shop a few months ago- they wanted about $3000 for it and ammo is near impossible to get for it.

I love brass and am NOT waiting for this to happen. How do we reload a case that doesn't exist. This is an idea whose time has not come.[&:]

I'm sure the Gyrojet ammo is a collector's item only these days! Once I worked one winter in a gun shop. We had one of those Gyrojet contraptions and the ammo for sale-noone was interested! To me, the thing's main failure was that at ranges under about 10 yards, the rocket-bullets had not yet attained enough velocity to damage an assailant. In other words, they were useless at the ranges where a pistol was most needed! And out where the little rockets were up to speed, they were pretty inaccurate.......
