Indeed. The 25mm high-velocity guns are very nice too, if slightly less extreme.

Melt to slag? 16d only averages 56 HP. Surely a truck should weigh at least 1 ton and be unliving...that's something like 48 HP right there. Hardly slag! Pretty busted up though.

Oops, I had an extra six in there from when I looking at the damage from the missile's explosion.

Re: Pyramid #3/37: Tech and Toys II
The idea of a shoulder fired missile that CAN slag a truck sounds interesting--so interesting that someone needs to make one.
I can see a way one gets made: Low tech soldier has access to an autofactory, and tells the machine that he needs a bazooka-style weapon. He then tells it that backblast is not a factor. The dumb robot then makes it--and since the soldier described it as a rocket, no anti-graviity, etc gets used... Can this be done with the rules?

Incidentally, the only rules I know of that might let you figure out rocket backblast would be from Spaceships. (The cruise missile, for the record, is not shoulder fired by anything but maybe a highly specialized mecha. It weighs more than a ton.)
