It shoots miniature, self-propelled rockets that cause 2d10 points of damage when they explode. A gyrojet pistol is not effective at very short range, because the rocket is still accelerating. Thus the short range modifier is used even at point blank range. Skeinsuits and inertia screens absorb half the damage from a gyrojet rocket.
