In principle, the device generates an ultra-thin slice of beam saber to "cut off" incoming attacks, beams and projectiles alike. Though the MSM-03, MSM-04, MSM-07 and MSM-10 had mega-particle cannons installed, it was not until the development of the Some of the later mobile suit models employed powered-up variants of the beam rifle, such as It should be noted that E-cap technology appears outside of UC continuity in Although not specifically mentioned in the story, the Beam Smart Gun is designed to take various optional parts. However, miniaturized I-field generators capable of being installed on a mobile suit were still expensive units, and thus not common by U.C.0120.

Instead, each shot will consume a portion of the energy residing inside the weapon, which recovers when it's not being fired; if all of the energy is consumed then the weapon overheats (OH). For example, MSA-0011[Ext] Ex-S Gundam is equipped with 2 reflector incoms that are used for its 56MW Beam Smart Gun and 1 incom mounted on the head that can fire normal mega-particle beams.
This technology is utilized in the battlefield in U.C. Beam weapons are energy-based firearms that do not use ammo magazines. Fa 78 Full Armor Gundam Zeonic …

While charging, the tip of the barrel will glow with energy; when full charge is reached the targeting reticle will visibly change. This article deals with technology from the Cosmic Era timeline of the Gundam fictional universe metaseries. Gundam Officials has collected this information and has presented it along with plot history and character summaries in an encyclopedic form, and MS Encyclopedia 2003 has a short technical summary of these technologies in its first section before going into the lists of mobile weapons in different series, which earlier editions only have. The technology of quasi-psycommu and incoms were transferred from Murasame Research Institute to Augusta Research Institute for development of Gundam Mk-V. 26. The cannon became deadweight of the unit in these cases.Due to the effect of the Minovsky particles of interfering with low-frequency electromagnetic waves, it is used in combat as a form of warhead on missiles.

When This technology was first utilized in the One Year War, and installed on the massive Zeon mobile armor Newtypes may also have the ability to attract Minovsky particles via the bio-sensor, creating a I-field around their suit (seen in the penultimate episode of Towards the end of the OYW and beyond, there was much research into developing remote weapons that are designed to exploit the heightened senses of a Newtype pilot. There are two distinct varieties of beam weapon - one that uses regular Minovsky particles, and another that employs the mega-particles formed by fusing positive and negative Minovsky particles. Unlike the classic I-field barrier, this beam barrier not only deflects beam attacks, but could also deflect (or destroy) physical attacks and missiles as well (acting as both a minovsky craft system and beam blade simultaneously).

This so-called fin funnel field (or FF field for short) could not be used as a weapon due to the limits on the funnels and the I-fields involved. ]Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat.
