RX-77 Guncannon profileby *zeiram0034

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Games

The second of three mobile suit prototypes built under the Earth Federation's "Project V" during the One Year War, the RX-77 Guncannon was a step above the RX-75 Guntank in that it was a true mobile suit and not just a "mobile suit body on a tank." Like its brethren Guntank and RX-78-2 Gundam, the Guncannon used the same FF-X7 Core Fighter as an escape system for the pilot. Also like the Gundam, the Guncannon was one of the first mobile suits to use the energy cap-based beam rifle, as well as head-mounted vulcan guns for close range defense.

However, the Guncannon was designed as a mid-range fire support unit, and its primary armament was its shoulder-mounted 240 mm cannons. The main drawback to this was the cannons' limited ammunition supply, but an experienced pilot learned to use the ammo conservatively and effectively to stay in battle longer.

The Guncannon actually was put into mass production as soon as the Federation recieved it's design plans and was actually the first MS they sent out on the front lines. Despite not having any melee weapons they were very popular amongst pilots and the design was modified repeatedly. Following the beginning of the Guncannon mass production was the GM Early type, Gundam Ground Type And GM Ground Type. Then they settled on the standard GM.

best mech in gundam

I always prefered the Mass Produced design for the Guncannon. Kinda like the Mass Production Guntank. Not a fan of the regular RGM design though. But, point, I still like this, neat little rendition.

This would be Hayato's Guntank, yeah? The 109 was his unit's number or am I wrong on this one?
