As usual, you are arguing yourself in circles just to
be argumentative.  Your big argument for Recoiless
Rifles in the first place is that they are less
expensive than guided missles.

Now you want to put a disposable DEW warhead in the
shell.	Am I the only one who thinks that is likely to
considerably more expensive and require a higher tech
base (far higher) than a simple Imaging IR sensor?

Besides, if such technology were available in the DSII
universe, we'd already have seen it.

As it stands, the only relatively 'low velocity'
weapons in DSII are artillery shells fired in large
numbers (think about the capacity limits of an
artillery vehicle, compare to modern artillery
vehicles) and containing submunitions.	Everything
else is expressly hyper-velocity or fired only at
point-blank range (IAVR) or vulnerable to PDS (GMS).
