Nyrath,
     We are picking nits here!	 
A gyrojet can be considered 'caseless' because it does not have a
'shell caseing' or 'cartridge case' that contains the propellent.
I must also point out that if the projectile is 'unrotated', the 
weapons ability to hit the broad side of a barn at short range 
is in doubt.
