Remaking 1960s GYROJET Rockets - Part 2: Test Fire

I've been working hard on bringing the Gyrojets back to life. I'm sure most of you already know about them, but in a nutshell they were tiny rockets invented in the 60s that were supposed to have a ballistic performance similar to that of a 45 ACP. Needless to say, they were a complete failure, and nobody has ever tried anything similar again. Until now 😎. In fact, the original design really left something to be desired, under many points of view which are covered in detail in the videos. I've made this topic into a 3 part series, with all 3 videos uploaded at the same time, covering as many aspects as possible. Not only will I be exploring a very interesting subject, that of rockets, but mostly I'll be trying to answer one question: if it had been designed properly, would the Gyrojet really stand a chance?
