[HOE] Junker device help WAS: Lost in Space Armor (Was: Some questions)

[Theo McGuckin <tsm@jlab.org>]

I've got another one for you guys to help me build :)
The heat-seeking gun from Runaway (80's sci-fi movie).
Basically it's a handgun that fires small heat-seeking missiles that
home-in on a target.

I was trying to build it (my first attempt at using Junker rules, yikes!)
but it seemed to require a LOT of powers:
Gunsmith - to make the gun
Rocketman - to make the missiles
Sensor - so the missiles can be heat-seeking
Brains - so the missiles can track the heat-seeking signal
Armor/Shield - this one's odd, Rocketman has a back blast to it, which
wouldn't really be compatible with a handgun, so I'd thought about using
shielding/armor to protect the firer. The other option would be to have
the gun be a mini railgun that fires the missile out 5-10 feet before the
missile ignites...

So that's 4 or 5 powers to make a fairly simple (in concept) gun. Is there
another way or is this simply a device that doesn't translate well in HoE?
