The Heavygun is a mobile suit which appears in the movie Mobile Suit Gundam F91.
Technology and Combat Characteristics
The RGM-109 Heavygun represents the Federation's age of peace. It is smaller than previous general purpose mobile suits, ligtly armed, and could be more cheaply produced than older mobile suit models.
The Heavygun is a design descendent of the GM and Jegan line of mobile suits possesing design features that gives the suit a similar physical appearance to its predecessors. The mobile suit's simple design also made it easy to use and repair. However the Heavygun represents a new age of mobile suits being the first miniature mobile suit to reach mass production. Its smaller size and reduced weight made the Heavygun highly efficient as well as faster and more maneuverable than previous mobile suits
Like the Jegan the Heavygun is lightly armed with its only beam weapons being a beam rifle and a pair of beam sabers though. A weapon feature the Heavygun received from its predecessor are a pair of hand grenade racks, with four grenades per rack, mounted on the waiste. Its final standard weapon is a pair of vulcan guns mounted in the head, a standard weapon to the RGM line of mobile suits.
Since the Heavygun remained in service with the Federation for 14 years it would see combat with the mobile suits of the Crossbone Vanguard which were more technologically advanced and had much greater performance. However in the hands of a skilled pilot a Heavygun could perform adequetly against the newer mobile suits.
