The Guncannon is the second model of prototype
mobile suits
developed by the
Earth Federation.
Designed for medium-range support, it's equipped with a pair of shell-firing cannons in its shoulders, and can carry a
beam rifle
for additional firepower. While the Guncannon's heavy
armor
means it doesn't need to carry a
shield,
its greater weight makes it less agile than the Gundam. Only one Guncannon survives the
Zeon
attack on the
Side 7
research
colony,
and it's soon assigned to civilian recruit
Kai Shiden.
