Anti-Pod launcher

Or the solution could be as simple as putting 2 or 3 in the armory instead of a single one. It would be a lot less frustrating for it to fail if it wasn't so easily lost by the eager officer taking it and then getting blasted with a shotgun into space after all.

I think that would be a way to go. I would suggest 3 launchers and the ammo being available in the ammovend. This would also enable tactics like alpha striking a pod with 2-3 launchers. The threat of multiple pod launchers alone would very likely deter pod nerds to take their pod against security directly.
