The RGM-109 Heavygun Full Equipment Type is a mobile suit introduced in the Gundam F91 Mobile Suit Variations design series.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A variant of the RGM-109 Heavygun, its design remedies the Heavygun's relative lack of weaponry. It is fitted with numerous weapons for mid-range support purposes, and they can be purged during close combat. Due to the base Heavygun's low generator output, the suit could not use too many beam weapons simultaneously. Additionally, equipping all the weapons at once resulted in decreased mobility due to the added weight, thus, the suit would usually deploy with only the required weapons after careful consideration of combat conditions.
Armaments[]
- Vulcan Gun
- A pair of shell-firing armament built into the head. They have low firepower, but are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles or attack vehicles due to their high rate of fire.
- Beam Saber
- The beam saber emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The Heavygun usually stores a beam saber in its body for melee combat.
- Quadruple Grenade Rack
- The Heavygun is equipped with a pair of waist-mounted grenade racks each carrying 4 hand grenades. The explosive power of the grenades are reduced to avoid damaging the colony's outer walls, thus they are less effective during anti-MS combat.
- 9-tube Missile Launcher
- A box-shaped missile pod carrying 9 ground-to-ground missiles is equipped on the right shoulder.
- Quadruple Machine Cannon
- A pair of four-barreled machine cannons firing APFSDS rounds are mounted on the left shoulder, and they are also collectively known as 'Twin Machine Cannon'. The pair of Quadruple Machine Cannons are smaller, light version of the ones used by the G-Cannon.
- Double Beam Gun/Twin Grenade Launcher
- Depending on sources, the weapon mounted on the right forearm is stated as being either a twin-barreled beam gun or a dual grenade launcher.
- Double Beam Cannon/Twin Railgun (Shield Type)
- Depending on sources, the weapon mounted on the left forearm is stated as being a twin-barreled beam cannon or a twin-barreled railgun with shield function.
- Short Beam Launcher/Bazooka
- Depending on sources, the weapon stored on the rear waist armor is stated as being a short beam launcher or a bazooka. The short beam launcher is a portable, short-barreled beam cannon, and although it has a limited number of shots, it is capable of sinking a battleship in one shot if used properly.
History[]
A RGM-109 Heavygun Full Equipment Type was deployed in U.C. 0115 when the Earth Federation Forces's 2nd Experimental Battlegroup, dubbed the Fastest Formula, was ambushed by a MSA-120 Draig after wiping out the EGUM terrorist group. Piloted by Dir Rider due to the urgent circumstances, the Heavygun Full Equipment Type unleashed a barrage on the Draig, but since the mobile suit was not tuned or designed for a Newtype, it could not respond fully to Dir's piloting. Fortunately, Veronica Vernon intervened in secret from afar with her RGM-111Y2 G Custom, saving Dir.[1] Later, the Heavygun Full Equipment Type was assigned to Mizma Muerte, and served as an reliable escort for the F90 Gundam F90.
