I call bs. It's got two giant missile pods. No reason each one couldn't shoot at a different target.

I call BS on your BS. 
The force of the rockets firing off, you'd have to set the MERCH up in a way to brace for it. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The MERCH would have to brace to shoot in one direction, I don't think it can brace to fire in two different directions with the forces the missiles would generate.
My opinion, but that is how I see it.

Missile launcher weapons don't necessarily need to have recoil. A gun has recoil because the force the gun pushes on the bullet is the same as the bullet pushes on the gun. For a missile, the primary forces are between the missile and its exhaust, not the launcher.
Additionally, missiles can adjust their trajectory mid-flight so even two fired on the same initial path can hit different targets.
