	~~<hr>~~

	~~<!--~~
	~~DESCRIPTION (Lead)~~
	~~Write a short 2–4 sentence overview of the weapon.~~

	~~Guidelines:~~
	~~- Sentence 1: Identify the weapon (type + caliber/cartridge if known).~~
	~~- Sentence 2: One plain-language note on what it’s known for (role, strengths, or notable traits).~~
	~~- Keep it neutral and factual. No fluff.~~
	~~- If you cite real-world claims (dates, designers, adoption, users), include sources in the HISTORY section.~~

	~~Example structure:~~
	~~'''WEAPON NAME''' is a [weapon type] chambered in [cartridge]. It is known for [notable trait/role].~~
	~~-->~~
	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~


			<hr>
			The Gyrojet Carbine is a shoulder-fired variant of the MB Associates Gyrojet system, designed to launch 13mm rocket projectiles (“microjets”) rather than conventional bullets. The weapon uses a smoothbore launch tube and a simple internal mechanism with very low recoil, as the projectile’s thrust comes from its own rocket motor rather than high chamber pressure. It is best known as a 1960s experimental/novelty small arm whose rockets accelerate after leaving the barrel, making performance strongly dependent on distance.
	==HISTORY==		==HISTORY==
	~~<!--~~		MB Associates produced Gyrojet pistols and carbines in the late 1960s, including carbine configurations fitted with a shoulder stock and, on some examples, a telescopic sight. The system’s operating method is unusually simple because there is no empty cartridge case to extract: a forward-mounted hammer drives the rocket rearward against a fixed firing pin to ignite it, and the rocket’s movement then re-cocks the hammer as it travels forward through a smoothbore tube.
	~~HISTORY~~
	~~Write 1–2 detailed paragraphs on real-world development~~ and ~~Vietnam War-era use.~~

	~~Paragraph 1: Development & adoption~~
	~~- Who designed it / where it originated~~
	~~- Approx. dates (development~~, ~~adoption~~, ~~production)~~
	~~- Why it was created / what role it filled~~
	~~- Key Vietnam-era variants (only if relevant)~~

	~~Paragraph 2: Vietnam War use~~
	~~- Which sides used it (U.S.~~, ~~ARVN, VC, PAVN, ANZAC, etc~~.)
	- ~~How~~ it ~~was typically employed (role~~, ~~environment, unit types)~~
	- ~~If useful: mention common related variants encountered in theater~~

	~~SOURCES~~
	~~After~~ the ~~paragraphs, add~~ a ~~Sources list~~.
	~~- Prefer high-quality references: museums/collections, encyclopedias, academic books, government history offices, reputable firearms reference works.~~
	~~- Use 1–5 sources. Every major factual claim should be supportable by the sources listed.~~

			In practice, the Gyrojet concept suffered from major field drawbacks: the rockets were difficult to manufacture both cheaply and accurately, and they needed some distance to build velocity and effectiveness, making close-range performance comparatively weak. While Gyrojet weapons (notably the pistol) were evaluated in very limited numbers by U.S. MACV-SOG personnel during the [[Vietnam War]], the system was not adopted for wider service and remained a rare experimental curiosity.
