Now I understand what systems you're describing.  Sort of like 5"
multi-purpose guns or multi-role missiles.  I like using C-batts for
something like this since they have already work as dual purpose via the
More Thrust rules.  I've always thought of the PDAF/ADAF as a really
light
weapon like the Phalanx which is designed to take down soft targets.
