I think I need to add a special ability to it' that its rounds cause enemies to instantly combust or disintegrate. As for the rocket, since its Red Transparent, maybe it could have the same effect on a smaller scale? or perhaps just have its explosion radius increased by one or two inches.

Incendiary rounds do +1d4 fire damage on top of their normal damage, and set minifigs on fire. You could do the same with the red rocket if you wanted.

I always used "Liquid Red" as a higher yield explosive (+1 effective XS).

So I was in the Walmart toy section today when I notice that they now had Ninjago and City polybag sets.

"Oh cool." I thought, then I saw that up and to the left they also had Star Wars polybags...

"Oooh, let's see what we have here."

It was your standard mini-ship fair, a TIE fighter, ether a Republic or Imperial Destroyer, and something else I can't quite remember...
Which struck me as strange since the other box had 2 different sets for each theme...

It was after digging a bit that I found them:

STAPs, glorious STAPs!!!
I only bought the two to give to my old STAP droids but, damn, I might develop an impulse buy addiction with this set.

Wait, does this mean I should go out right this minute and buy the rest?!?!

I mean, they were sorta buried under the others like someone was trying to hide them or at least selling a lot better then the rest, and it sounds like these aren't the kind of sets Wally-world usually has...
Plus, these are the STAPs that fit my army's current color scheme.

Well, it never hurts to have a large group of small fast attack vehicles such as STAPs or speeder bikes or whatever. And if you found them really cheap, I wouldn't object to buying a few.

Well they are still $4 apiece... but that also makes them the second cheapest Lego set my Walmart has.
The first being the other box of Polybags for some reason...

...I'd also need tan 1X2 plates for their backs, since my STAPs Droids need something to differentiate them from regular grunts.

Been studying for a test...

Which remind me, if I do well on this, I might just reward myself...
But with what?
Should I get more STAPs... or buy the Elite Trooper pack so I can have me some Commando Droids?

...Or, dare I empty most of my loose cash stores and buy BOTH?
