This YouTube video showcases a rather unconventional firearm, identified as a 13mm Mark I Model B Gyrojet Rocket Carbine. The creator humorously notes the unusual nature of the demonstration, attributing it to 'goofy' moments after a long day of video production. Notably, the carbine lacks traditional sights, a design choice explained as contributing to a 'low-drag' profile. The video, despite its lighthearted tone, provides a glimpse of a unique and rare firearm.

This video showcases a reproduction of the Reffye Mitrailleuse, a 13mm volley gun from the 1860s. It demonstrates the crank-operated breech mechanism and its rapid blank firing capability. Historically, the Mitrailleuse was not effectively utilized by French forces during the Franco-Prussian War.

The Gyrojet Rocket Pistol, developed in the mid-1960s, fires actual rocket cartridges with a unique self-stabilizing mechanism. It accelerates after leaving the muzzle, reaching peak velocity and lethality at 30-50 feet, unlike conventional firearms. Despite its novel design and negligible recoil due to vented exhaust gases, it suffered from poor accuracy and low muzzle velocity.
