#3 This should be entertaining. Phalanx is essentially an automated radar-controlled gatling gun. With an engagement range of 4 miles, I'm (totally!) guessing rounds that miss travel at least half again as far. So the Paleos launch one of their big bottle rockets and Phalanx replies with a big shower of shrapnel 5~10 miles down range. How droll! And totally automatic. Don't forget your umbrella.

#4 The shells are programmed to explode near the incoming round and the shrapnel is supposed to be too small to do damage when it hits the ground.
