Weapon Graphics

I was just wondering if it would be possible to use a ships graphic for a weapon. say a missile that looks like a manta.

Yes. However, because the fighter graphics tend to have banking sprites, you probably won't want to use them directly. If you extract them using EVNEW or DeRLE, trim off the second two sets of frames, and re-RLE them, they should work quite well.
At any rate, all you need to do is pick a sprite, find out its dimensions, make a new spin resource for it, and set the weapon to use that spin.
