Do these get used very often? I never used them in missions because I was told way back when it was very dangerous to do. Is it? What sort of ships would use these and when and why? They would appear to be an awesome way to deal with small ships and drones except they also hit your friends, if you have any

Yeah.. well, imagine doing a Level 4 mission in hi-sec, drones all around you, and you buddy* (or his drones) moves a bit too close when you let loose a smartbomb..
CONCORDOKKEN!!
I even think it has the same effect on non-destructable objects too, but I haven't used on in a while.
*If your buddy is in the same player corp, you should be okay.. but if you aren't then you get to watch your ship slowly die..
I only do diplomancy because I haven't found you.. yet. |

CAPS MAKES YOU COOL!!!!
But yeah, smartbombs are mostly on capital ships, and often faction/officer ones due to the better range/damage. Small and medium ones are very seldome used, if at all. I use one on my Raven sometimes, as anti drone/AF weapon.

Sorry to say, missions is among the best uses for them - if you know what you're doing. NPC's won't alter their flight wether you have a smartbomb or not fitted, so with a little speed you'll soon remove all frigates orbitting within 8-8,5km with a TS or equivalent smartbomb.
Other than that they are popular on larger ships to remove drones or for very specific gang setups such as multiple smartbombing bs clearing ops, warpin points, catching pods, shuttles and frigs warping to a gate or even spreading out and acting like a miniddd.
Point is the relative damage one deals to ships of your own size is rather negligible however smaller ships will suffer. Mind you there's no tracking, explosion velocity or such. The reason they're not used is mostly because of their bad reputation, not as much because they're bad. Parrots, commence!
