Oh, I forgot about that part (I was typing these in from memory.) 
Fighters
can't attack and destroy SM-AF loadouts, like they can attack the other 
types of SM.

My thought was every object in the blast radius takes the damage.

radius
takes a d6 worth of damage, -1 per inch of range outside of 3" ' )
