ULTRA MBA Gyrojet Assault Rifle 1.0.0

MBA Gyrojet Assault Rifle​

Designed by MBAssociates, these firearms used a unique bullet design in which it would accelerate using rocket power. The bullet itself was caseless and used a mix nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin as fuel for the rocket.

When the bullet is fired, it would begin flying through the barrel pushing air out the side exhausts causing it to spin, achieving gyroscopic stabilization. At around 9 meters from leaving the barrel the bullet would reach a max speed of around 380m/s. Since it did not use a conventional propellant, there was minimal recoil and noise. The bullet would also not lose energy since its rocket was propelling it forward until it reached its target.

The design never became popular as the bullets were quite inaccurate and did not have much stopping power. Today there are only a handful of these weapons left and the rocket ammunition is just as rare. The firearms not looking too pretty probably did not help with sales.
