ft-Next weapon of the week? af sml

A proposal for the next weapon of the week, which shouldn`t take long
due to
only agreeing on what was finally discussed, is the af sml (or afhawks).
The
proposal goes along the lines of-
Mass=1
Cost=1
Range=12 MU
Can only be fired through the arcs of the sml.
Cannot dammage ships.
Uses KV scattergun pack rules against fighters (roll 1D6, number
rolled=number of fighters destroyed, modified for hvy fighters).
When sml used in af fire, cannot be used in normal sml fire against
ships.

Questions?
Does it require a firecon to be used, and if it does, would it be 1
firecon
per launcher or 1 firecon per fighter group targetted?
Would it be used in the normal pds phase? (I say yes, keeps it simple)
Would alowing adfc function upto it`s 12 mu range be useful?,
considering
that the af sml is firing at the fighter group, not defending the other
ship?

Probably some other questions, but cannot think of any now.
