- Hybrid gyrojet
A hybrid gyrojet is simply a much more effective, more accurate and more lethal
gyrojet "weapon". The original gyrojet weapons were designed for medium range(around 50m), as they were powered by arocket which needed time to accelerate(in fact, a piece of cardboard held over the muzzle was enough to stop it). Perhaps the major design flaw is that thepropellant was made as a solid block. A solid block of propellant has a much smaller surface area than a propellant made up of individual grains.Materials
Some materials used for the construction of a hybrid gyrojet would consist of
Aluminum ,Stainless Steel ,Plastics ,Copper andBrass , to name a few. The main design parameters for the construction of a hybrid gyrojet launcher would be weight, cost and usability.Military
Many
military organizations are looking to hybrid gyrojet's as a replacement for their aginganti-tank capabilities. Once all the initial design flaws have been weaved out, they will be an extremely effective method of taking out enemy/hostile tanks, jeeps, planes/jets, and whatever else they may use it on. Specifications are still on the drawing board, but will be published as soon as they become available.
