--------> Might wanna check some earlier posts- we've pointed out how GW
has printed stats for thigs which are irrelevant and/or will never be
used. As for the Navy comparison, well, I'm betting orky missiles
40,000 years in the future might be different, just like infantry
weapons of the age don't compare to the army's weapons today, nor the
flyers to the current air force. (Maybe they're inflatable and use
compressed air for thrust...)
    And since vortex missiles specifically _say_ "one shot weapon" and
these missiles do _not_ specifially say "one shot weapon", who can say
"well the designers meant it to be one shot".
   
    FWIW I'm a stickler on this because it came up, and being of the
SM/TL school I believe it should be 2 one-shot missiles. But, they
didn't bother to put that anywhere in the rules for this edition. They
can call it a SQ, even, but when introducing someone new to the game,
and they want to see the rules, if it ain't in there then I don't think
that's MY fault, I think it's sloppy design, as we've seen several
examples of on this list.
