Z6466 MBA 12MM Gyrojet Rocket Cartridge, Powder Metal Nozzle

Description: Nice example of the standard 12mm Gyrojet with the patented "powder metal” nozzle. The patent for the powder metal nozzle was awarded to MBA on December 31, 1968, as Patent No. 3,419,230. Its creation stemmed from the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. The main benefit of the powder metal nozzle was forward thrust. This example has a copper-plated steel case and a three-port powder metal nozzle. The nozzle is held in place with a roll crimp and has a copper primer. A nice example with a darker patina and very little wear.

Headstamp: None

Measures: 12.60mm x 35.55mm

Reference: "MBA Gyrojets and Other Ordnance” by Mel Carpenter Pg. 221-224
