Daniel Suarez has a 2012 near-future novel that features this kind of thing [0]. In the book there are drones swarms armed with single-use tube guns, essentially, Saturday Night Specials [1]. I shill for his books regularly on HN. They're a guilty pleasure for me: snappy, easy to blow through in a single sitting, and are each begging for a movie adaptation (think "The Martian"). Start with Daemon.
