What kinds of weapons do mobile suits use?
Mobile suit weapons include conventional shell-firing cannons and missile launchers, science-fiction standbys such as lasers and electromagnetic railguns, and scaled-up versions of human weapons like machine guns, swords, and axes. However, the most effective of all are beam weapons, which emit high-energy particles of immense destructive power. In the Universal Century, these weapons use exotic “mega particles,” while most other Gundam worlds employ charged particles of an unspecified type.
