The F71 G-Cannon VSBR Type is a variant of F71 G-Cannon introduced in Gundam F91 Mobile Suit Variations.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The F71 G-Cannon VSBR Type is a test version of F71 G-Cannon equipped with a pair of prototype VSBRs (Variable Speed Beam Rifles) on its backpack instead of the quadruple machine cannons. It is also equipped with an additional generator. The pair of prototype VSBRs unfortunately have low output and was unsuitable for actual combat operation. Furthermore, as the center of gravity of the equipment placement is unsatisfactory, the placement of the VSBRs on the F91 Gundam F91 was changed.

Armaments[]

  • Vulcan Gun
A pair of shell-firing weapon built into the head. Though not powerful, its high rate of fire meant it was employed to intercept incoming missiles, etc.
  • Beam Saber
The standard close range armament for most mobile suits, it is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. The beam saber emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and can cut through most armor not treated with anti-beam coating.
  • Double Beam Gun
A small-caliber beam weapon attached to both forearms.
  • VSBR (Variable Speed Beam Rifle)
Mounted on the backpack and powered by the suit's reactor, the pair of VSBRs equipped by the F71 G-Cannon VSBR Type are prototype version. The VSBRs can change the speed of the fired beams to achieve different goals, such as low-speed beams with high destructive power, or high-speed beams with high penetrating power, sufficient to destroy two MS with one shot or pierce a beam shield. However, the prototype VSBRs have low output and was unsuitable for combat operation.
  • Beam Rifle
The same portable firearm as used by the RGM-109 Heavygun, it features a full barrel structure for barrel protection and to maintain accuracy. As the weapon is developed during a time where anti-MS combat is not the main focus and usage of beam rifles are actively avoided to protect the space colonies, it is installed with a sub-sensor as well as a limiter to avoid excessive power.
  • Shield
A type of defensive armament used by many mobile suits. The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit. It is also treated with an anti-beam coating to withstand several beam shots before the coating wears off. Typically, physical shields can only take so much damage before they succumb to the pressure and break.
