Gyrojet ammo is difficult to find. The TSAr can interface with the Syker
and provide an automatic hit to the head with the gyrojet launcher,
provided the target doesn't make their Dodge (11) roll and has an action
to burn as a vamoose. Gyrojet rounds are rare and are usually only found
in areas where there were concentrations of British forces. The TSAR
also is a 5.56mm assault rifle, which is a much more common caliber and
is less expensive [$1 per 5.56mm round versus $5 per .50 gyrojet round.
The gyrojet rounds used in the TSAR have been created with guidance
systems and other neato tech so that they can lock onto a targets
brainwaves.] It's the automatic hit to the head that makes the TSAr
appealing.

The gyrojet from the TSAR will follow the target around and go through
light cover. Regular gyrojets travel in a straight line, just like
bullets.
