Remember the "rocket pistol" from about 1967 and on? That was one worthless firearm if ever there was one. The launching gun was made from potmetal, as they used to call it, and it looked like one of those old tin cap guns that had been on steroids and had holes drilled into it. The projectiles (little rockets) were expensive and about as accurate as a French anti-tank missle. Half the time they didn't even shoot the rocket right and when you were trying to fix the problem the rocket would suddenly and unexpectedly launch itself. That gun has GOT to be the Titanic of firearms because it never did go anywhere either except straight down.
