No, it's not a gun, it's a rocket launcher.

The missile isn't "automatic" homing. You can't just shoot randomely and have the missiles impact on their own. You have to keep your crosshairs on your target to guide the missile in. This is due to the Stinger's invisible-dot laser beam-wire targeting system. (You can't see the beam, but the center dot on the sight prety much represents where the laser dot is pointing at.)
