The MS-07B Gouf's four-barrel 75mm machine guns are shaped like enlarged fingers. It fires physical rounds at a rapid rate, and despite its bulky and awkward appearance, its barrels demonstrate limited degree of digital dexterity, including the ability to hold the shield.
Heat Rod
A close-range weapon installed in the right forearm. This retractable cable delivers a high-voltage electrical shock when it comes into contact with an enemy mobile suit, damaging its internal systems and stunning its pilot. The heat rod could also be superheated to give it cutting properties. It can also open and latch onto other machines.
Shield
A defensive armament that can be attached to the left arm.

Operational History[]
A high performance unit designed to function within a gravitational area, the Gouf was deployed primarily on Earth with one unit being famously piloted by Ramba Ral. Ral's Gouf notably intercepted the White Base on two occasions, at central North America following the death of Garma Zabi, and at Central America, defeating Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam on both battles.
After pursuing the White Base further south, Ral's Gouf engaged the White Base's four-unit mobile suit team, destroying an RX-77 Guncannon and a RX-75 Guntank whilst easily subduing the remaining units. This leads to a third duel against the Gundam. This time, however, the Gundam is able to trick Ral by throwing its shield forward and tricking him into attacking it. While Ral is distracted, the Gundam cuts into the Gouf's shoulder with its beam saber, and then critically damages the Gouf by stabbing its backpack. Ral subsequently escaped his unit with a grappling wire, swinging under the Gundam's crotch to safety.
Multiple Goufs were later deployed during the Battle of Odessa, where one squadron notably led a final counter-attack alongside Commander M'Quve's YMS-15 Gyan when the battle was lost. This squad was able to inflict heavy casualties on the Federation forces, buying time for the escaping forces before they too were ordered by M'Quve to escape the field.
