OK, this isn't a gun.

 

It's better than a gun.

Since the 80s I have been fascinated with the Gyrojet but its really hard to find data on one, since they are super rare and very expensive.  Here's a very cool demonstration.  My reaction is they are more deadly than I expected and actually effective, but cheaply made

The Gyrojet works well in a vacuum environment. Its problem isn’t that is so much cheap but light. Too light apparently as the detaching barrel. Brandon Herrera’s video showed a lot greater accuracy than the Demolition Ranch Gyrojet. As to know it listed in 3rd Edition Hero As 1d6 +1

Based on the ballistics gel damage I'd say its more like 2d6.   Those bullet projectiles move a lot faster than I expected, and hit surprisingly hard.

I could see 2D6 with a +q stun mod as the bullets are wide depending on if it’s pre- 1968, or after. Backyard ballistics made some fresh ammo but did not have entirely successful accuracy. Recent ammo I have seen available had steel strips angled from the back on a spring steel washer pressed into the back to impart the spin. I haven’t seen those used.
