The difference between lunar mining ore delivery and orbital bombardment is only a matter of targeting, after all...I figure, a potential weapon could be put on the opposite side of the Moon and lunch space rocks from the Moon in the opposite direction of its rotation at the exact same speed as its rotation and these rocks would fall to Earth and could be aimed at an adversary as a weaponized meteorite that would be difficult to defend against or attack.
Thinking about the feasibility of a solar powered railgun operating in low gravity and low air resistance. It might actually be cheap and easy to operate too.
