Default Re: Different Gyroc Designs

Spinning is a horrible idea for a rocket, though it is better than nothing. If you do not have a counterspining element, rockets will go in the direction of the spin while they thrust (rifles do not have continuous thrust, so spin is an advantage rather than a disadvantage). It was used in primitive rockets, but it was pretty much abandoned in favor of fins when people started figuring out aerodynamics.
