They are harder to break lock. But there are two ways you can do it. 
1. get a solid object between you and the missle
2. if you can cut a turn inside the turning radius of the
   missle (easily done in big rooms) then you can make it hit
   the wall. (assuming that you are near enough to the wall)
   - however, it's really hard to do w/ keyboard (IMHO)
