Mini's are typically about the size of large Pop cans...Think those energy drink cans. Technolgy may make them bigger or smaller but that should give a good idea.

I say that the minis are about the size of a 12 oz. soda can. As for the others, there really isn't a stated size.

The size of missiles depends on the artist. I've seen a power armor carry four long range missiles (South America) but also a hover vehicle that could only carry one (NGR).

Mini missiles tend to be about soda sized; plasma mini-missiles in Invid Invasion/Sentinels are about the size of a Energy Drink can (since they are noted as not fitting into standard sized launchers).

Short Range missiles are about twice as long as a Pringles can.

Medium Range missiles are about the size of a baseball bat.

Long Range missiles are going to be about as long as a man is tall.

That's all IMO.
