I was thinking... (always a dangerous thing)

As marvelous an AT weapon as the Hellfire is, it seems sub-optimal as an area anti-personnel system. The blast is tightly focused forward, like a good AT round should be, and there seems to be little in the way of fragmentation side-spray. It seems like a lot of mooj are walking away from very close proximity blasts.

Could we not develop a weapon that is fired from the same platform, guided by the same system, but optimized for personnel casualty-producing effects? Maybe a Hellfire ICM round?

Now that there would be entertainment!
