Um... I thought of the SI author, myself. No quips came to mind here either, though.
On the Curly Shot, what I mean is you shooot a single large "shell" that's basically a whole barrage of Magic Missiles in a bubble somewhere near the enemy(ies,) which then explodes like a firework, with the secondary shots just sticking to things at first, then attracting any that haven't stuck to something to the closest that has. Then they all explode. If the initial pre-MIRV manages to hit directly, well, then they've all stuck to it anyway, and explode. How big the flak burst is you'd set ahead of time so terrain features or allies aren't in its area of effect, to avoid exploding them.
