A rather odd and short lived firearm called the Gyrojet fired a projectile that was actually a small rocket. The propellant was in the projectile and, when ignited, the gases were vented through several holes in the base which were slanted and imparted rotation to the "bullet". This round was somewhat effective under water, and in fact the company developed a speargun version of the arm.
