This series of firearms featured a rocket projectile instead of a traditional cartridge. Starting off Ernie covered the background and gave a short history of Arthur Biehl, who teamed with Robert Mainhardt to form MB Associates, or MBA, in order to develop Biehl's armor-piercing rocket rounds. Robert Mainhardt had worked with small portable research nuclear reactors. They developed some small rockets for the Vietnam War called Finjets, which were 3mm in diameter or roughly just over half the diameter of a .22 round. This led to the Lancejet rocket, a larger .25 caliber finless rocket with an explosive head which was to be used for mine clearing. In 1962 they developed the underwater Lancejet speargun. MBA provided examples for the underwater combat scenes in the James Bond movie, “ You Only Live Twice ”. The first pistol cartridge was a 13mm diameter rocket over one inch long moving at 1200 FPS with no recoil.

The Argentines produce four models: the Militar is the standard military variant, and conforms most closely to the original HP-35; the M-90 is a modified version of the Militar, with a lengthened slide stop, reshaped manual safety, anatomical grips, and a plastic projection above the magazine well at the front to help with the grip. The "Detective," as it sounds, is a compact version of the M-90 for concealed work. The M-95 has two new safeties, a firing pin safety and an ambidextrous thumb safety. It also has adjustable front and rear sights. Twilight 2000 Story: Some of these pistols were still being used as late as 2025; however, the M-95 was never built.
