I don't see why you couldn't have a magazine-fed submunition launcher,
hmm...

Submunitions Launcher (SBL) - is to Submunitions Pack as SML is to SMR.
Can fire 1 submunition/turn until magazine is empty.

Launcher MASS 1, COST 3
Magazine MASS 1/2 submunitions (round up), COST = MASS x3

MASSes are a quick guess based on comparing a Submunitions Pack with a
normal-range SMR.

Alternatively, - and I do not know BFG at all - do BFG guns have the
following capabilities:

They are affected by screens
They are short range
They do quite a bit of damage?

If so, you could just use Pulsar-Cs

Well, thats my 2p worth.
