Being new, I want to know what is the best small projectile gun. I want to fit some on my rifter so I can do agent missions without using missles. Help is appreciated.

Close (VERY close) range: 200mm autocannon I think
Long range: 280mm Howitzer
Since you're new I won't tell you the whole truth 
The BEST in terms of range and damage is probably the 280mm 'Scout', often priced at 1 mil each.

280mm Scout is sureley the best, but has a high PG usage.
Unless you have high engineering skill, i suggest starting with the 250mm 'Scouts' is an alternative. They are also ~ 15 to 20km range depending on ammo and use far more less PG.

You are best to get 2 280mm howitzers as then you can keep your distance against NPC rats with these guns. I mean how is a nub gonna be able to afford to buy scouts.
Cheers

i currently use a
3 200mm's with phased plasma ammo
1 M12 missile launcher with defenders.
1 standard 1MN microwarpdrive
1 standard small shielbooster
2 gyrostabilators 1
on my Rifter that is :)
u can get in range of anyone in seconds and turn them into scrapmetal in seconds ( set your Microwarpdrive for single boost / manual ) and just press it once to zoom into range extremely fast, while accalerating you should be able to lock, when u are close, active the guns :)
with this ( and rather "normal" skill ) u should be able to take on spawns of NPC frigates up to 4 10K pirates, i suggest u start with some easier pray :)
and if u get used to the 10K frigates, u might even consider even bigger hunt.
Good luck :)

You can put 3 280mm guns on a Rifter. I know. That's what I have on mine. Also has a launcher with some heavy missiles.

Well, I swear by my 250mm Scouts on my Rifter. On a lucky run I can do ~800 damage with those three shooting in unison.

I like the 280's. I like them so much I use them on my shield-tanking blackbird. ;) Small projectiles must be broken, they're just sick for damage.
They don't work terribly well for bombing runs against cruiser NPC's in a rifter tho, the tracking speed or something makes them miss quite a bit while scooting by. That and the awful targeting range of a rifter makes the rifter a bit lame, but I sit at long range with:
3x 280mm
1x M-12
1x MWD
1x Sensor Booster
1x Aux Power Core
1x Power Diagnostic
Sure, everyone supports saving Einstein's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, suddenly you've "gone too far". |

250mm Artillery against an unpredictable opponent in a frigate (aka another player). You may not be able to control the range very well and the 250mm has the largest amount of adaptibility under those circumstances, imo.
Againt npcs for missions + a rifter? 280mm Howitzers. Rifters will alway control the range in that fight, especially with a mwd, because of its speed. If you have the skills (both trainable and piloting) it's easily possible to use 280s, a mwd and an afterburner (no shield booster) and come out almost unscathed.

280's are just fearsome when they hit their optimal. I use phased plasma ammo and hit for 80-130 average hit at 8-10K and get wreakins of almost 300...

So go for 280's :)

250 scouts used to be the best, but when I look at their stats now I think they may have been nerfed. Their rate of fire is only slightly better than the 280 scouts.
3 280 scouts on a rifter is quite nice. I get a 10x damage mod with no gyro's on.
So I hit for an average of about 100 with phased plasma with each gun.
