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.
