A wand of magic missile is NOT the same as a wand
of submachin gun.  For one thing, the wand of SMG
will not be available 'til vers. 5.3.  For another,
the magic missile stick does far less damage, only
1d4 a shot, which is comparable to the damage done
by a slung rock.  For the pure, clean joy of spattering
monsters you are better off with a stick of hot or
cold, 6d6.  It's like wielding two 2-handed swords
at once, and almost as dangerous.
