Generalissimo Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Rocket pistol ammunition has been unavailable for decades and currently costs hundreds of dollars a shot, the expense and scarcity of these rounds have deprived collectors and operators from shooting rocket handguns. While researching our rocket pistol we needed to produce ammunition for our own Gyrojet handguns necessary for analysis and testing. Procinctia Armament is now selling .51 caliber rockets for the Gyrojet MkI and .49 caliber rockets for the Gyrojet MkII for $20 a rocket.

Subtleknifewielder Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 [b]***Classified***[/b] It would take approximately two months to properly, and safely, transport all the material to its new destination in the heart of the Australia Outback. What better place to hide such things than in the middle of nowhere? The money, instead of being wired this time, was delivered in person by a faceless beaurocrat in a black suit and tie and black sunglasses.

Production of .49 and .51 caliber rockets originally stopped because of a perceived lack of demand, but our company believes a demand from collectors has changed the circumstances dramatically. Procinctia Armament is merely selling unique types of ammunition that have not been available for forty years – allowing rocket pistol owners an opportunity to actually fire their weapons for the time in years.
