The MS-06JK Zaku Half Cannon is a mobile suit introduced in the MSV-R design series.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The MS-06JK Zaku Half Cannon is a converted MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type using parts from the MS-06K Zaku Cannon, primarily the backpack and shoulder shield. Since the Zaku Half Cannon has the same backpack as the Zaku Cannon, it can be equipped with either the latter's 120mm Gatling gun or the 180mm Cannon. Additionally, compared to the original Zaku II Ground Type, some of the Zaku Half Cannon's fire control system is revised to complement its backpack.

Armament

• 2-tube Rocket Launcher

Also known as Big Gun, the 2-tube Rocket Launcher is mounted on the left side of the Zaku Half Cannon's backpack. It is magazine-fed and can fire small-caliber rockets rapidly.

• 120mm Gatling Gun

The gatling gun is a medium-range weapon mounted on the Zaku Half Cannon's backpack for anti-air and anti-ground attacks. Can be switched with the 180mm Cannon.

• 180mm Cannon

Mounted on the Zaku Half Cannon's backpack, this cannon is able to destroy a mobile suit in one shot. Can be switched with the 120mm Gatling Gun.

• Shoulder Shield

A simple defense used to block most physical projectiles, it is mounted on the right shoulder and is the same shoulder shield as equipped by the Zaku Cannon.

• 120mm Machine Gun

A standard weapon for Zaku type mobile suits. It is a shell firing gun that does not require energy to be used, however its effectiveness against heavy armor is very limited. This model used a 100-round drum magazine.

• 3-tube Missile Pod

A pair of optional 3-tube missile pods can be mounted on the legs for mid to long-range attacks.

Special Equipment & Features

• 2-tube Smoke Discharger

Mounted on the backpack, it releases a cloud of smoke for various purposes.

• Underground Sonar

Exclusive to Mia Brinkman's unit. The Noisy Fairy Squadron received this system from the Midnight Fenrir Corps, and installed it into the legs of Mia's Zaku Half Cannon. Although considered outdated technology by the time of the One Year War, the underground sonar was generally less affected by Minovsky Particle interference compared to radar. It proved an invaluable tool when it came to detecting moving ground targets during nighttime operations, in environments with low visibility, and in environments with high Minovsky Particle density.
