The F-71 G-Cannon Powered Weapon Type (also known as the G-Cannon Full Equipment Type or G-Cannon Long Range Support Type) is a variation of F71 G-Cannon. It is designed by Kunio Okawara as part of F91-MSV.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
An enhanced variant of the G-Cannon configured for interception, it was said to be developed by SNRI using the F90 Gundam F90's Type L mission pack as a reference. The G-Cannon Powered Weapon Type has improved combat capabilities due to the mounting of heavy armament on the hardpoints throughout its body. Such a design is because the leaders of the Earth Federation Forces do not think that high mobility alone would be a decisive factor during MS battles. The G-Cannon Powered Weapon Type also has enhanced close air support and anti-air attack capabilities. To support its various firearms, an anti-aircraft control targeting system is installed on the right shoulder and a targeting sensor is installed on the left shoulder. Lastly, additional booster packs have been added to both legs and the various added equipment can be purged when required.
Armaments[]
- Vulcan Gun
- A pair of shell-firing armament built into the head. They have low firepower, but are ideal for restricting enemy movements and shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles or attack vehicles due to their high rate of fire.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The G-Cannon stores a pair of beam saber in its body for melee combat.
- Surface-to-Air Missile
- A large missile launcher mounted on the left shoulder.
- Double Electromagnetic Railgun
- Equipped on the left arm, it is a double barreled railgun that fires high-speed, armor-piercing shells.
- Gun Unit
- Also known as double grenade launcher, it is equipped on the right arm.
- Twin Beam Cannon
- A super long-range beam cannon equipped on the right side of the backpack.
History[]
It is unknown when the F-71 G-Cannon Powered Weapon Type was developed, but in U.C. 0116, some of its prototype parts such as the leg boosters, right shoulder camera, and backpack antenna unit were installed on Baz Galemson's customized F71 G-Cannon while he was a part of the Earth Federation Forces's Fastest Formula Corps.[1][2]
