Hey all, so probably a dumb question but I thought I'd get a definite answer. This is my first time using a vulture gunship and one of the options is 6 Hunter Killer missiles. Now the rule states that one one can be fired once per battle, Is this to say that 5 of the 6 can't be shot or does the rule not apply in this instance?

That is not what the Index says. It says "Each hunter-killer missile can only be fired once per battle" making them one-shot weapons. Once you've fired all six missiles you have no more to fire during the game.

This. Each Hunter Killer can be fired independently, but each can only be fired once.

Since the BRB errata, you're no longer forced to fire all 6 the first time you shoot either, so you can choose how and when to fire them over the course of the battle. So you could, for example, fire all 6 on the first turn if you wanted, or fire 1 and keep 5 for later, or fire 3 and keep 3 for later, etc.

Take as if it were a limited-fire weapon, you have 6 in total, and you can use as many as you want per turn, but once you used all 6, you can no longer use them the rest of the game.
