RE: Questions: Submuntions and Scatterguns

A Submunition Pack is from Full Thrust, and is basically a preloaded
Rocket Pod which fires a scatter of unguided rockets at the target (and
hence the scatter pack reference).  A direct equivalent would be the
early 50's jet fighters/intercepters which carried unguided rocket packs
to mass fire at enemy bombers.	F-94 Starfires, F-89 Scorpions, some
models of the F-86 Sabre, and an assortment of others.

The Scattergun is from More Thrust, and is a Kr'vak short range
"shotgun" weapon, and by definition are turret mounted, having a 360
degree firing arc.
