i beleive that the standard fluff describes MM's being the size of a soda can. call it 30-40mm?
in robotech, standard MM's were sodacan sized and shaped, but plasma's were more like RPG rockets, about 20mm wide and 100mm long, though the foldout fins made it 40mm wide once fired.
minimissile size

I made them 55mm after I saw something on the History Channel that was an automated launcher of something that could be considered a forerunner of the minimissile.

I always considered mini-missile to be advance version of the 2.75" rockets found on modern helicopter, and prop planes during WWII thru Vietnam. I pictured them similar in diameter, but about half the length. I would say there is a standard size for all mini-missile, or else mini-missiles captured from a CS SAMAS might very well be useless for your Samson. Of course I've always though that e-clips would be weapon specific, like modern magazines.

now this probably doesn't have anything to do with anything but...
the Naruni big plasma pistols fire a 20mm cartridge, and usually do 1D4x10.
I think I've seen a mini-missile as low as 6D6 and I know I've seen them 1D4x10 for plasma. So... I guess it works for me
I believe the mini-missile damage ranges from 4d6 (frag) to 1d6x10 (plasma).

5D6 for frag but plas is right.
