Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Armaments[]
- 60mm Vulcan Gun
A standard armament of the mobile suits descended from the Earth Federation Forces's Gundams. These head mounted shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire, but little power and are generally ineffective against mobile suits; however, they can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, small vehicles, etc.
- Beam Saber
The standard close range armament for most Federation mobile suits. The beam saber is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It is capable of cutting through any metal that has not been treated with anti-beam coating.
- Beam Rifle
The standard ranged armament of the many mobile suits, the beam rifle fires a particle beam that can penetrate almost any armor that has not been treated with specific counter-measures.
- Hyper Bazooka
The Hyper Bazooka is a mobile suit-sized bazooka that fires powerful explosive rounds that can severely destroy a mobile suit or damage a mobile armor. The downside of the bazooka is that its large size makes is somewhat more difficult to handle and its ammunition is limited.
- 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. Shields are 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.
