What is Phantom Bullets?
“Gundam Secret Weapons: Phantom Bullets” was a one-shot photonovel story that appeared in the June 2002 issue of Dengeki Hobby, just before the debut of Advance of Zeta. The story takes place in U.C. 0082, roughly a year before the events of Gundam 0083, and neither its staff nor its characters have any connection to Advance of Zeta. Phantom Bullets is noteworthy, however, for being the first collaboration between Dengeki Hobby magazine and the Sunrise studio. The mobile suit Gundam GP00 that appears in this story also employs an early version of the “drum frame” technology used in several Advance of Zeta mobile suits.
