-Sleeker and more compact than carrying missiles
-more efficient system of killing

Caldari are all about practicality and minimalism, small scale guidance systems are probably not something worth investing R and D in when minimised hybrid rail tech works equally well.

The Flaylock is also a Caldari weapon and it does shoot rockets (unguided!). The weapon would be like it just with smaller rockets and it would shoot full auto.
Just watch the video I posted above and you will see what I mean.

The Flaylock is a Minmatar weapon.

It was shown on a particular piece of concept art, with a Rail Pistol as the Caldari side arm.

Just look at it. It is definitely a Caldari Weapon.

EDIT: Do you have this concept art?

Scroll through the Key notes but it shows the Flay Lock is Matari in origin

Sigbjorn Foerik Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 10	Posted - 2013.06.22 10:55:00 - [1] - Quote CCP Remnant stated that the Caldari Rail Rifle will have the Breach Variant as it-¦s standard mode so I thought how that could work. A Railgun has high range but the Breach Variant is Low Range? Then I found an interesting weapon on wikipedia called Gyrojet. This weapon fires small rocket like bullets instead of classic bullets so it would fit perfectly to the Caldari nature. The bullets leave the barrel quite slowly but increase their speed to about Mach 1 at 18m and then the speed would decrease again. The weapon is very light and has almost no recoil because the weapon itself is more like a rocket launching pod than a weapon and there is just low pressure compared to classic firearms in the barrel. In DUST it would perfectly fit the definition of a Breach variant. It could have a small warhead inside similar to the Flaylock Pistol. Their damage would be about 100+splash damage but their RoF would be less than 200. The clip size would be only 20 or so. You should still keep the Rail Rifle and make it the Caldari variant of the Laser Rfile.

It would have a very low RoF, damage about 100 and about 50 Splash Damage. The Splash Radius should also be just 1m so the Splash Damage would rather compensate the low RoF

Ten-Sidhe Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 506	Posted - 2013.06.23 08:34:00 - [25] - Quote real gyro jets had no warheads, at least not in the pistol and ar sizes. They fired a small rocket propelled bullet, it did damage the same as a normally fired one, so no splash. The biggest quirk of the gyrojet was the speed went up over time rather then down, so at close range the damage would be low and increase with range. Spread was horrible, small imperfections in the motor made big variation on the impact point and the slow initial speed make it harder to spin stabilize. Gyrojets were fired from rifled barrels and had no fins, relying on spin for stability like a rifle bullet. A gyro jet rifle would be nice for caldari, but rail rifle would be better ar for them. Gyrojet rifle vs rail rifle would be kind of like the laser rifle and scrambler for amarr. Gyrojet would be a quirky weapon with lots of flavor, but not a good general purpose rifle. The flaylock is firing small rockets like the gyrojet, they just have explosives unlike most gyrojets. A gyrojet inspired by real-life and caldrai preferences would be something like the following. 1)Mid-long range since damage increases with distance. 2) not easy to aim, bullet travel with increasing speed and a high spread would make it tricky to get hits at long range where it would do most of it's damage. 3)Low magazine size, gyrojet rounds are larger then a normal bullet and case. 4)Based on physics, it would do 4x the damage at max range it does at 1/2 range, energy=velocity^2*1/2mass. Average damage is 1/3 the max damage. So it would be a very range sensitive weapon. Explosive warhead version would have constant damage and splash, but that is more a minmatar type weapon. Caladri missile in eve do kinetic damage. 5)full-auto, burst, and semi-auto would all make sense for variants. 6)The minmatar smg has a caldari made variant, ishukone is caldari corp. A similar minmatar made assault gryojet rifle with spalsh would be a nice tie in to the flaylock. Caldari made breach, and tac would have no splash, minmatar assault version would have greatly reduced direct damage and splash damage. Standard and burst could go either way, burst fire rosket with splash would be interesting but would need very low damage for balance. If the standard gyrojet rifle had splash, it could fill roll of the caldari grenade launcher.

It requires a lot of PG/CPU There a Gyrojet like rifle would be better and the Rail Rifle would be really good as a LMG like gun.

Well we can only assume that the current large rail does have to charge up because it's propelling a larger object when firing, maybe the size of a golf ball to punch through tank armour, however a rail rifle would fire a tiny sliver of metal or a granule sized projectile to punch through dropsuits. In that case we could assume that the heat build up and discharge on that is similar to an Amarrian Laser weapon, and thus not a huge issue, also since the projectile is so small it require a charge time that is equivalent to the standard breach RoF. We can agree to disagree. Not saying it wouldn't be a badass weapon, just not in keeping with what I believe to be Caldari aesthetic.
