Beam Type Weapons

Beam weapons are the most advanced weapons used by Mobile Suits. While beam weapons can be built for ordinary MS, they are especially powerful when made from Gundanium. The complex alloy allows the charged particles to reach heat temperatures which would incinerate ordinary materials. The Buster Rifle, which Wing Gundam carries, charges all particles in a 150 meter radius, creating a maelstrom of hot plasma. The gun's convergence ring concentates the energy into a single devastating beam capable of destroying a battleship in a single blast.
