The part on the original gyrojet that kept exhaust out of the user's eyes was more like a breach than the ventilated barrel.

That initial "stabilizer" is usually more like alunch rails than a barrel and in this case anthony's 17 calibers is going to be too long for a 15mm pistol. That's part of why I suggest just getting rid of the too inaccurate to be useful unguided gyrocs.
