We should also remember that the origins of the thread
were discussing the merits of Low Velocity Weapons in
general.  So while I'd be happy to consider your
points below, let's also remember that they address
RR's only, and NOt LVC's.  Agreed?

What you're describing displays remarkable similarity
in technological level and performance characteristics
to a GMS.  If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a
duck....

True, although if it's only semi-guided, it should be
more vulnerable to PDS/ADS.  If you smarten it up to
avoid PDS/ADS, then just use the GMS rules and call it
what you will as flavor/PSB.
