There are things like the Atlas from Samboru and the Gun Tank from Ziegax, but basically, beam rifles are prioritized, and railguns hardly appear.

It seems like railguns are more convenient in outer space, but I wonder how it really is.

>>1

Kinetic projectiles are not allowed because they become debris.

The railgun is included in the settings, but it’s mostly just bazookas.

It seems that many people have been burned by the Gundam’s beam rifle and the Zaku’s Zaku machine gun, as the railgun-related tree doesn’t seem to be progressing.

It seems there was a gym equipped with a railgun in the independent battle.

If we’re preparing real projectiles for the railgun, we’d want to go for a high-mass attack, and if we’re seeking firepower, prioritizing beams that don’t turn into debris might be the way to go, right?

I think there’s no relationship between fuel efficiency and weight, and that operating with beams has nothing to do with fuel efficiency.

If you’re trying to secure space for bullets, should it be a beam that can be done with a catalyst? I thought about that, but are there beam rifles that also contain one shot’s worth of bullets?

>>8

I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say, but the beam rifle loads a mega particle as a bullet into the gun itself or the magazine.

Because beam rifles suddenly became established after machine guns and bazookas, I think there’s an atmosphere in the Universal Century questioning whether we even need “stronger firearms.”

It seems that railguns didn’t become popular because actual projectile weapons have the significant advantage of using gunpowder to reduce power consumption.

There seems to be a certain demand because there are things like I-fields and beam-resistant coatings.

>>11

Since I’m getting quite a lot of feedback when using Zeta, it seems like having a railgun would be good.

I like cruisers equipped with the Sanboru railgun.

I thought about using a railgun as a countermeasure against Big Zam, but there are surprisingly very few I-field equipped machines.

>>14

To counter the Big Zam, you just need to equip a railgun on the Big Zam…

Railguns apparently get extremely hot, so they probably wouldn’t be suitable in space.

F89 also had an anti-free dial equipped and brought a railgun.

>>16

It’s a railgun, but isn’t it something like a railgun…?

>>20

It’s not the high-impact gun from Free Dial, but rather the F89 equipped to remove the applique armor that the beam can’t affect.

Wasn’t the ground warfare Jim equipped with a rail cannon?

If it’s weaker than a bazooka in terms of real ammunition, then it’s not needed at all.

If it becomes equal to or greater than a beam (since the beams in the Universal Century have some mass), doesn’t it all come down to just railguns because of the relationship with the I-field?

It looks like a difficult weapon.

>>18

In a real railgun, it seems that its advantages as a cannon are its range and rate of fire rather than its power.

To make use of the range, a satellite link is essential, so it might not be compatible with the Universal Century where Minovski particles are scattered.

It seems like the dessert gym and the weapon of the land combat type Hyakushiki Kai were similar as well.

The Atlas Gundam has such a great design…

There are things like railguns if you look for them, but they haven’t become mainstream.

But as far as I can see from the toll-free number, they are indeed doing some research.

>>22

0120?

The high-impact gun is a pseudo-gravity railgun.

Wasn’t it said that the railgun in the thread image is super heavy?

The more I research about impact wrenches, the more I think they must be really expensive.

If you try to make it look like a railgun, it ends up with a bulky and long barrel.

If it’s that bulky, wouldn’t it be better to just use a beam?

>>28

The toll-free number itself is full of cost-increasing elements, it’s amazing.

>>31

Damn expensive mission pack format high-class small aircraft VS damn expensive mystery equipment free dial

The fight for the federal purse.

>>39

The mission pack has a strong nature for verification…

By the time we reach around 120 years, the number of beam shield users will increase, and shooting weapons, whether railguns or anything else, will be tough except for a few.

>>30

If you unleash a barrage from the naval guns, it might work, but it’s also tough to operate equivalent firearms with mobile suits…

Are there quite a few outside of the Universal Century?

>>32

Recently, there’s the Cosmic Era Railgun and so on.

Iron Blood also refers to the Dainsleif as a railgun.

The high-impact gun fired with technology similar to Minodra must be a custom-made product, both the gun and the bullets are definitely expensive…

The toll-free number feels like a fleeting flower of an era when it no longer connects.

If both mid-range and long-range can be covered by beam shooting, the advantages of railguns might not be that significant.

I don’t really care, but I really love the character design of Atlas’s thread images.

It makes me sad to think that it will never come out again.

The original Atlas’s shield is a bit creepy.

Beam railgun!

In the Japanese SF anime scene of the 70s and 80s, railguns weren’t really in the spotlight.

>>44

I have a memory of railguns being released rapidly around the time of Nadesico.

It’s strange that no character in any work has ever come up with the idea of compressing a beam using some method and shooting it out with a railgun.

After all, the Big Zam itself seems to have thick armor.

The open-type barrel only feels cool, but there seems to be an image that railguns are often designed with an open type.

>>47

Looking cool is important, you know.

>>47

It can be differentiated from a regular barrel by its appearance.

In terms of settings, the beam rifle is a bit too outlandish of a weapon…

A handheld weapon with the power of a battleship’s bombardment, and it flies at sub-light speed.

>>49

It is too condensed compared to the complexity and enormity of a real particle accelerator…

The open barrel seems to be rather unsuitable for a railgun, but if it’s tubular, it would be indistinguishable from a regular firearm…

I’m not sure if I can call it the Universal Century, but it seems that the head of the G-Self is a railgun.

>>52

It doesn’t look like a railgun without the rails.

Isn’t it hard to shoot properly in the Universal Century with an electromagnetic cannon?

The basic mega particle beam weapon is too convenient and too powerful…

It seems that the shot lancer was a technology similar to a railgun.

When it comes to railguns in Gundam, the impression of Seed is just too strong.

>>58

It’s just that the Railgun of the species isn’t very strong.

It was a threat like, “If this were a beam, it would have been over.”

It was better than not having anti-fem tech at all.

Speaking of which, doesn’t that mean Gundam UC will no longer exist?

The thing F89 had in the final battle was a railgun…

I thought it was kind of bulky.

Rail cannon! It’s a rail cannon!

The Universal Century has a lot of various things going on, doesn’t it?

Plasma and lasers.

But somehow it feels like it ended up being beams, rockets, and explosive real ammunition.

I was surprised to learn that the shot lancer doesn’t directly launch the spear, but actually shoots off the thin layer of the spearhead instead.

I can’t understand how the mechanism for gaining momentum works anymore.

The ground warfare gym was using a rail cannon repurposed from naval vessels, but since it was only a temporary substitute for beam weapons that were unstable during the early development phase, it hasn’t been heard of much since then.

>>66

I like those ephemeral blooms that disappear until the mainstream is decided.

The seeds are, conversely, either greater or lesser than the railgun.

From Zeus silhouette to Pollux.

The railgun in Sanboru feels like an I-field meta.

The Big Zam is also equipped with a railgun, so we are well prepared for countering the Big Zam.
