Z6818 MBA 13MM Bundy-Tube Gyrojet Rocket

Description: Nicely sectioned example of a 13mm Gyrojet rocket with the experimental Bundy-tube case with a single cannelure. Bundy-Tubes were manufactured by the Bundy Tubing Company of Michigan and were used in the automotive industry. They were perfect for Gyrojet tubes because the copper-plated steel sheets could be rolled and soldered.

You can see the riveted aluminum nose, steel nozzle and aluminum foil sealant. The inside of the cartridge shows a simulated propellant and treated paper igniting strip. The four-port steel nozzle spins freely and will not come out of the tube. A nicely sectioned example of an experimental case!

Headstamp: None

Measures: OAL 36.20mm D 13mm

Reference: "MBA Gyrojets and Other Ordnance” by Mel Carpenter Pgs. 152-153 Fig. 13-17 A
