The RGM-111 Hardygun is a mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics as part of its "Silhouette Formula Project". It was introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam F91 Silhouette Formula.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

To catch up with SNRI in the field of miniature MS development, Anaheim Electronics started the Silhouette Formula Project. This project used stolen data of the SNRI’s Formula Project to create a new series of MS. One of the machines developed was the RGM-111 Hardygun, which was systemically positioned between the older RGM-109 Heavygun, and the F71 G-Cannon, which was developed around the same time.

The Hardygun is actually a heavily modified F70 Cannon Gundam, and like the F90 Gundam F90, has multiple hardpoints installed on its body, giving it high expandability. While the F71 G-Cannon was designed with suppressing rebellions and the likes as its main mission, the Hardygun was developed for anti-mobile suit combat. As a result, it has higher combat performance than the normal G-Cannon. Furthermore, due to the use of SNRI’s technology, the Hardygun also has a generator with higher output.

Armaments[]

  • Vulcan Gun
Mounted in the head, these shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but little power and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though they can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, attack vehicles, etc.
  • Mega Machine Cannon
Mounted on top of the chest, the pair of mega machine cannons are shell firing weapons with stronger firepower than the vulcan guns.
  • Triple Grenade Rack
A rack carrying three grenades is mounted on each side of the waist.
  • Beam Saber
The standard close range armament for most mobile suits, it is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. The beam saber emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and is capable of cutting through any metal not treated with anti-beam coating. The Hardygun is equipped with a beam saber stored on the left side of its backpack.
  • Double Beam Gun
A twin barreled beam gun is mounted on each forearm.
  • Beam Launcher
Mounted on the right side of the backpack, this large caliber beam launcher can be rotated to be stored behind the waist when not in use. The beam launcher utilizes similar technology as the beam rifle, but is more powerful and is powered directly by the mobile suit's reactor.
  • Beam Rifle
A standard hand carried ranged beam weapon is the beam rifle. Capable of firing concentrated mega particles, attacks from a beam rifle are can damage any ordinary armor that has not been specially treated to resist it. The Hardygun can use the same beam rifle as the Heavygun.
  • Shield
A basic arm-mounted defense armament for many Federation mobile suits. The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit, and is also treated with an anti-beam coating to withstand several beam shots before the coating wears off. Typically, physical shields can only take so much damage before they succumb to the pressure and break. The Hardygun uses a custom shield.

History[]

Around the time that Anaheim Electronics became the manufacturer of the F71 G-Cannon, the company also started the Silhouette Formula Project to catch up with SNRI in the field of miniature MS development. One of the mobile suits developed under this project was the RGM-111 Hardygun. Though the Hardygun was a formidable mobile suit, Anaheim Electronics never intended to put its design into mass-production because they never expected to sell any of their Silhouette Formula Project mobile suits to the Earth Federation Forces.

Variants[]

The Proto Hardygun is a further development of the RGM-111X Heavygun II by Anaheim Electronics engineers at the Granada branch, and a part of the Silhouette Formula Project. Besides having improved performance, the mobile suit also incorporated data from the F70 Cannon Gundam and could use the Mission Packs of the F90 Gundam F90 to a certain degree. The major drawback of the Proto Hardygun is that its operating system must be rewritten each time it equips a new Mission Pack. As such, it was seen as inferior compared to the F71 G-Cannon, which could use the Mission Packs to a limited degree without rewriting its operating system.
  • RGM-111Y2 G Custom
Featured in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam F90: Fastest Formula, the G Custom was developed by the Anaheim Electronics using the Proto Hardygun as the base unit. Its backpack was equipped with a removable Sturm Thruster Unit installed with a modified version of the Mega Boost technology from the MSA-120 Draig. The G Custom's Mega Boost can draw power from E-Packs mounted on the waist hardpoints, for a maximum of five usages per sortie. The Sturm Thruster Unit can be purged if the system goes out of control. Two units were produced and assigned to Wadjet Eyes Corps, who used these machines to collect combat data for the Silhouette Formula Project. The first unit had a blue color scheme and was piloted by Veronica Vermon, a former test pilot of the Draig, while the second unit was piloted by Arthur Knighley.
