In fact, [[Gentle Chapman]] won the 9th, 10th and 11th Gundam Fights consecutively, which gave Neo England control over the United Colonies Federation from FC 40 through FC 56. Chapman's three time winning streak ended when he was defeated in FC 56 during the 12th Gundam Fight. While the John Bull Gundam was equipped with the standard complement of head vulcans and machine cannons, it was designed to take full advantage of Chapman's sharpshooting skills to bring him back on the path to victory. Its main weapon was a powerful long beam rifle that Chapman could use to accurately shoot his enemy from a distance.
