Shot lancers don't employ heat weapon technology. They're inert but extremely tough kinetic energy penetrators that are launched using "railgun-like" electromagnetic launchers for the specific goal of neutralizing enemy mobile suits in situations where the risk of a reactor breach is unac...

leaving the title open ended so its not tied down to a specific time period or anything if you want to talk about early heat weapons or anything like that (And I'm too tired to think up a good title right now) I was wondering why mobile suits in late U.C (I'm using F91 as an example) use heat weapon...

found this old post Welp, here's some useless information from moi as usual. Paging through the U.C. Hardgraph Novel (Zeon Side), I came across a population distribution footnote for one of the chapters. Skipping the in between blurbs that state what happens, here's the gist of it: OVERALL POPULATIO...

Sorry, I meant heavy bombardment. The manual say its issue is to adapting artillery-focus unit into flyable. Ahhh, that makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing the huge energy draw from the Calamity's weapons such would make flight difficult. Although, Aegis also had a Scylla cannon but had the advantag...

Have there been any other official confirmed uses for plants outside of terraforming and generating electricity? For example weaponization(other than vash's .45lc)? I did read the manga all the way through but it's been a few months and my memory isn't that great sometimes and I haven't finished the...

The shot lancer projectile might be held on with a wire that can be pulled back with a winch

Are we ever shown the exact specs of the power armor and its weapons in any starship troopers media? I was looking into it but i couldn't find anything. Maybe the tabletop games have something? Thought id ask on here since I don't know where else I could ask. jeez ive posted a lot of topics since jo...

Is it known how the Atlas Gundam's railgun reloads and if it it has had mass/limited production? id imagine that there would at least be some sort of use for the tech post war too. i just took a look at the railgun for a bit to see if there is anything that could be used as a magazine and it might ...

Probably worth to note that aside of Dainslef, all Pluma (Hashmal's lackeys) are also equipped with a railgun, and Bael has electromagnetic gun in its binders. As McGillis notes, l railgun shooting normal ammo is still legal, if borderline, weapon. So the last UC mobile suit armed with railgun is L...

where the hell can i find an affordable decadriver? i wanna customize one but its so expensive.

now that i think about it the dainsleif might not be a full on railgun but instead a electromagnetically assisted weapon since the end of the projectile is sticking out of the end of the barrel. It would make much more sense if it was still fired by some sort of propellent and assisted using a railg...

Note that the Zeon Remnants are surprised by the range of Atlas' railgun. IIRC, the dialogue suggest that sniping from that distance is impossible with beam weapon (under atmosphere, I guess, it should be doable in space). Of course, it's Thunderbolt. So it might doesn't matter at all... 08th MS te...

oh that's actually really cool. doesn't that mean that some ships would be capable of a really souped up type of kinetic bombardment? iirc the U.S. air force made a concept for something that could drop tungsten rods that might have the power of a nuke when dropped. would something like that bypass ...

ah ok now i understand. thanks for the info.

I was wondering how many Railgun style weapons exist in the Universal Century. The only one I know of is the one that the Atlas Gundam uses. Is there any advantage to having a railgun instead of a beam or shell firing weapon? I'd assume it would be effective for stealth purposes since beams are so b...

just remembered that the red rider uses A.L.I.C.E and not H.A.D.E.S

dang this post blew up quick. ive been thinking about this recently and i wonder what would have happened to amuro if he had used an EXAM equipped unit. iirc it could fry his brain immediately (at least i think EXAM does that) it would be terrifying to see what would happen if he got ahold of a unit...

I was wondering how many anti newtype weapons have the feddies made? i know that there is E.X.A.M, H.A.D.E.S, NT.D, and i think N_I_T_R_O
but those are the only ones that i can remember at the moment.
