beam cannon
Far more powerful than a beam rifle, this heavy weapon fires a wide beam
of slow-moving particles that can destroy even Gundanium armor.
beam rifle
This particle beam weapon is part of the standard mobile suit arsenal. It
fires a narrow beam that can pierce most conventional armor. Beam rifles
are powered by replaceable energy packs, which hold enough stored power
for roughly twenty shots.
buster rifle
The main weapon of the Wing Gundam, which can fire either a narrow beam
akin to that of a beam rifle, or a huge blast like that of a beam cannon.
Its energy supply allows only three shots in the latter mode.
beam saber
A close-combat weapon used by both the Alliance's Leo mobile suit and
many of the Gundams. It generates an energy blade that can cleave through
a normal mobile suit with a single blow.
dobergun
A shell-firing cannon used by the Alliance's Leo mobile suit. Its immense
recoil makes it difficult to handle, but it's one of the most powerful
weapons available for the Leo.
hyper jammer
A stealth device used by the Gundam Deathscythe. The hyper jammer emits
mysterious particles that scramble enemy cameras, making the Gundam
invisible to visual sensors as well as radar.
Gundam
An advanced mobile suit made entirely from Gundanium alloy, from which it
derives it name. Thanks to its Gundanium construction, a Gundam is not
only virtually indestructible, but is also invisible to radar and thus
can only be detected at close range. Five Gundams were created by rebel
space colonists for use in Operation Meteor, with firepower and
performance far surpassing that of the Alliance's mass-produced mobile
suits.
Gundanium alloy
A unique compound which can only be produced in the zero-gravity
conditions of space. In addition to its incredible strength, Gundanium
alloy is electrically nonconductive and cannot be detected by radar.
However, this material is expensive and difficult to manufacture, making
it unfeasible for mass production.
mobile suit
A humanoid vehicle operated by a human pilot. Military mobile suits stand
about 16 meters tall, and carry hand weapons like machine guns, beam
rifles, and beam sabers. Most are designed for a specific environment -
land, space, air or water - though the Alliance's standard Leo model is
flexible enough to be adapted for both land and space use.
