Gnat Rockets

These are rockets with high explosive warheads, a 'cheap and cheerful' budget weapon they don't do much damage, they are inaccurate and have quite a short range; but they're really cheap and easy to make with only basic materials and tools.

The blueprints can be downloaded from any semi-legal BBS, so they're commonly made from blasting charges and fuel supplies when miners need simple explosive firepower for personal defence.

As they have no guidance, it is very difficult to hit a moving ship with them except at very close range; however, against large, slow ships, stations or asteroid bases they can be devastating.
