Overview

As if there isn't enough ordinance to choose from!

The QPG-H88 Boomstick, the 'flying buckshot shell' is an ECM-proof missile produced by Pteradyne Technologies, Inc. for the Hunter's Guild, featuring a rapid closure rate, and features a fragmentary warhead. A nippy, accurate dogfighting missile developed alongside, and a great match for, the Raptors series fighters.

Detonation effects

Like most other missiles, the initial warhead blast inflicts shield damage. Immediately afterward, a spray of kinetic shrapnel inflicts additional damage to the target, sometimes causing catastrophic hull integrity failure. This is especially true if the target's shields were softened up first with a primary weapon barrage.
