But it still shoots like it's supposed to. The Pocket Rocket's main thing is the guidance, which this overclock voids (almost completely).

What it does is add a new functionality to the basic weapon without changing the way it works, so you can play with it like you are used to, and use the new feature.
The rocket OC removes something because of something else. The guidance is extremely limited, but you get to shoot salvos instead.
That's the main thing - one just adds to the gun, while the other changes something at the cost of something else, and that's the unstable part. It's not the end result, it's the change itself.

It's completely arbitrary

Yeah, I can't really argue for the logic behind that one. At all.
