The Silencers (1966)
Dean Martin as Matt Helm
Gyrojet - .49 caliber rocket

Originally a hard-boiled paperback fiction hero, Matt Helm became a film character that was a parody of the British secret agent James Bond.  Helm's equally fictional employer was known as ICE (Intelligence and Counter Espionage).  Dean Martin's tongue-in-cheek spy spoofing as Helm was to eventually result in four movies, each packed with a wild assortment of fantastic arms and gadgets.  The then-new Gyrojet pistol, capable of firing projectiles housing miniature rocket engines, was one of the unusual contemporary arms chosen for the first Matt Helm film, The Silencers.
