RX-93 ν Gundam Double Fin Funnel Type

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The RX-93 ν Gundam Double Fin Funnel Type (Nu Gundam Double Fin Funnel Type) is a variant of the RX-93 ν Gundam and first appeared in Char's Counterattack Mobile Suit Variations.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

Unlike the RX-93 ν Gundam, the Double Fin Funnel Type has its large beam saber's storage rack removed to carry fin funnels on both sides of the back, resulting in a maximum of 12 fin funnels.

Armaments

• 60mm Vulcan Guns

Mounted in the head, these shell firing weapons have high-rate of fire but little power and can't damage the 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, small vehicles, etc.

• Beam Rifle

A high-powered beam rifle with a output of 3.8MW. At maximum output, the beam fired is comparable in power to that of a battleship-class main cannon from the same time period. Can also function as a beam machine gun.

• Beam Saber

The ν Gundam has a standard-issue beam saber stored on its left forearm, which can be drawn quickly to attack enemies in close range. Compared to earlier models, it is more energy efficient due to the 'Auto Power On' feature, which enables the saber to instantaneously generate a beam blade only during moments of impact with enemy suits.

• Fin Funnel

A remote weapon unique to the ν Gundam, model number: AEV/PFF93AR. Despite their name, the fin funnels are in function "bits", since they have built-in generators rather than the E-caps used by funnels. While this made them more expensive to construct, it gives the fin funnels a longer operational time and allow them to fire more powerful beams compared to normal funnels. The fin funnels also can generate a unique beam shield, known as a "fin funnel barrier", to protect against both beam weaponry and solid projectiles. Although larger than the normal funnel, the fin funnels have higher mobility as its triple block structure allows for AMBAC movements in addition to being propelled by its thruster.

• New Hyper Bazooka

The ν Gundam is armed with a 280mm five round magazine hyper bazooka that has improved firing range and destructive power compared to the Hyper Bazooka used by other Earth Federation MS. It is capable of destroying an enemy unit in a single shot and is mostly used to take out slow, heavily armored targets.

• Shield

A custom shield emblazoned with Amuro's emblem. It features a built-in 7.8 MW beam cannon and four missiles. Amuro uses it in many strategic ways, such as fooling enemies that he was shot down by leaving the shield and the New Hyper Bazooka, and attacking enemies once they lower their guards. Attached to the left arm's beam saber compartment.

Special Equipment & Features

• Birdlime Launchers

Fires an adhesive substance from the hands that can be used to repair small cracks in colony wall or to restrain soldiers on foot.

• Dummy Launchers

Stored in the hands the launchers can deploy mobile suit sized dummy balloons as a decoys.

• Psycoframe Cockpit

The cockpit is composed of microscopic Psycommu receptors that allow a Newtype pilot to control the suit as if it is their own body as well as to have better command over remote weaponry. A psycommu receiver is located at the back of the pilot's headrest. Cockpit also features airmats that are used in case of impact. Controls are similar to Amuro's previous mobile suits.
