In _Living Steel_, the Leading Edge Games sci-fi universe, they had a
weapon
called the "lardenfaust". It was a one shot, unguided missile, but it
was big.
It was given to the Larden, an alien race (looked like the Gorn from
Star
Trek) with a fairly low technology level. In that case, it did sort of
make
some kind of sense. Other than that, I concur: throw a guidance pack on
it and
use a GMS/L.
