Making an exploding round for Gyrojet would be complicated because of among other things you have no sudden impulse to arm the projectile, which will make fuse design much harder. Meanwhile what would be the point of a small caliber payload carrying round? Very small projectiles are highly inefficient and expensive for that role because of fusing issues and generally small payload weight, while by the time you hit existing 40mm grenade launchers employing the high pressure-low pressure system, they are already partially rocket launchers in effect. The propellant charge turns the projectile into a short lived rocket. Its hard to see what advantage Gyrojet would ever have while retaining acceptable accuracy, which was always a problem with the Gyrojet guns in the first place. Having a rocket burn outside of a gun barrel is never going to work that great.</blockquote>link works fine for me . here is another link with the same content and more <a href="http://gigconceptsinc.com/Rocket-Index-1a1a.html">http://gigconceptsinc.com/Rocket-Index-1a1a.html</a> the deathwind people claimed to have liked the accuracy problem by useing a puller moter instead of apusher but idont see anyone beating apath to thier door.</blockquote>
