I believe Gyrojets don't have a separate casing.

Arg! Here I am trying to be accurate for a real gun, not thinking movie frame of mind, sorry. :$ That makes sense, but technically not possible for one of those to fire.

Actually, if you look it up, that's how the real gun actually operated.

"Originally developed in a 13mm size, the rounds it launched contained their propellant inside a stubby cartridge that stayed with the projectile in flight."

Actually it is the only way it can fire, as the whole cartridge is the bullet. The four holes you see in the tail are the exhaust vents for the rocket exhaust, the primer is in the center like with a conventional cartridge.
Some info on the Gyrojet: Modern Firearms - MBA Gyrojet pistol & Gyrojet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A couple of videos from the History Channel showing the ammo and the Gyrojet in operation: YouTube - Gyro Rocket Pistol‎ & YouTube - Gyro Rocket Pistol "GyroJet"‎
I believe that the two major problems with the Gyrojet were the long burn time, and the Rube Goldberg ignition system. The design was not conducive to accuracy. I've often wondered how the Gyrojet would do with a better weapon design and a projectile that used one of the high energy propellants that were developed for the Brilliant Pebbles program.
