Information:

The Dumbfire Missile originated as an atmospheric fighter weapon in the late 20th century and has not evolved greatly since its inception. A simple point-and-shoot weapon, it lacks a guidance system and does not require a target lock. The Dumbfire is unjammable due to the absence of guidance systems, and costs less than any other missile type. It is most useful against targets with predictable reactions - at close range, a single Dumbfire can diminish shields enough to allow an energy gun attack. Pilots normally reserve this weapon for use in close quarters or against slow-moving targets.
