I stole it from a shitty NRA video. That's all the slow-mo they had, unfortunately, but seriously IT'S A GODDAMN GYROJET

>IT'S A GODDAMN GYROJET

Probably the only round that's more of a meme than R.I.P.

why not have the back blast come directly out the back so there's no recoil like an SPG-9??

>not firing the round by pinching it

pussy.

I've held one IRL visiting my FFL when he was transferring one for another customer.

They're basically a large frame pistol but enchanted.

What is pinching it?

>>31955917
You know how the guy pulled the string to fire the round off? Pinching it means doing it with your finger. I've heard about it on old military channel documentary but don't exactly remember which one. I don't know if people have actually done it or what its actually called, but it sounds metal as fuck.

>>31955832
>muzzle begins to rise before the rocket leaves the barrel
is this a flaw of the design or just the shooter?

>>31955933
Looks like the design to me.

>>31955874
The knot does nothing!

>>31955933

Little of column A, little of column B.

It takes a little longer for the rocket to get up to speed so you have to put more effort into holding it steady, like you would a black powder gun.

>>31955957
The main failing of Gyrojets was that it took time and distance to reach terminal velocity. If it had some sort of a kicker charge though....

That and im not entirely sure they were all that accurate.

>>31955933
F=MA you bitch, literally every gun does this, just to a much smaller degree because the gyrojet is glacially slow until about 20m

It's actually fired by pulling a string? I thought that was an anachronism from a long time ago found only in cartoons today

>>31956119
Depends on the gun. Some use strings, some are fired by hand and sometimes a string is used. For example the first shot after a march or long break, to ensure the gun doesn't blow up the squad if it's been damaged or sabotaged.

>>31955991
Weren't they reasonably accurate with a defect in production causing the later rounds to have a covered nozzle?

>>31956119
>>31956146
The purpose of the string is so you use your enire body weight to fire the weapon

>>31956119
American artillery is travelling backwards. Compare it to China or India that can fire 80 rounds in 1 and a half minutes.

Knob Creek is always a good show.

>>31955991
>>31956153
The fact that they built up speed as the flew instead of slowing down meant that they gained momentum in flight; this means a wind early in flight would affect it far more than one later, and they were blown off course very easily.

>fired by pulling a string?
it's called a lanyard, and you can't believe how many folks fail at pulling that "string".
more of an science that you might think.
