The
gyrojet
pistol
(
video
) - a handgun firing
13mm rocket ammunition
, was an attempt to revolutionise gun design in the 1960s. Around a thousand were produced, and some may have
seen use in Vietnam
.
Rifle
and
carbine
versions were also produced. Design problems meant that it never seriously competed conventional firearms, but there is a
modern attempt to revive the concept
.

Technical animations are sometimes
dull

in viewer perspective. The
M1911 Animated Assembly Video Remix
is much better.

Some gun manufacturers - like those in other industries - are aggressively seeking new clients because of Sept. 11. Ithaca Gun Company is selling its Homeland Security model for ``our current time of national need.'' The Beretta gun company has its ``United We Stand,'' a 9- millimeter pistol bearing a laser- etched American flag.
Wow, that's tacky.
