Well the point of firearms being supplied to Cosmonauts/Astronauts was not for use in space but for re entry in the untamed wilderness as the article states.

Also If I was in space I wouldn't want a Gyro Jet, at short ranges the Gyrojet is known to be ineffective because it needs distance to accumulate velocity due to the rocket powered rounds.
