Questions: Submuntions and Scatterguns

Hello All,

	I'm a tad confused about some rules concerning Scattergun and 
Submunitions.  For starters, I dug this up from my copy of the Full
Thrust
FAQ...

What's a scatter pack?	Is that a Submunition pack or some other system.
I doubt it's a Scattergun because today, when I was reading my copy of 
More Thrust I observed something about the Scattergun that I had missed 
before.

The Scattergun has a 360 degree arc.  The direction the symbol points in
doesn't indicate it's fire arc.  It's on a turret.

I'm not going to get into "gee, this should be changed" mode yet because
I haven't studied the rules enough to do so and I'm not sure I want to
anyway.

The Scattergun has anti-fighter capabilities... I'm assuming that means
it also has anti-missile capabilities as well.	It is afterall a shotgun
spread.  Six mass of these could therefore stop six incoming missiles,
right?

Opinions, comments... good recipes ;)
