The MSA-005K Guncannon Detector (often misspelled as
"Dictector", "Gun Cannon DT") is a prototype artillery
mobile suit, it is first featured in Z-MSV, the design is later updated and
featured in novel Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.
Technology & Combat Characteristics: The Guncannon Detector was design with firepower in mind
and is equipped with several several beam weapons. Its main armaments are a
pair of beam cannons, with a beam gun attached to the right shoulder armor for
med-to-close range combat. Other weapons include a pair of head head-mounted
vulcan guns and a beam rifle, with a grenade launcher mounted under the barrel.
A noticeable weakness of the Detector is its lack of any sort of melee weapons,
putting it at a disadvantage in close combat.
History: The Guncannon Detector was also developed for Karaba as an artillery mobile suit
suitable for use in guerilla combat, the MSA-005K uses the same frame as the
original Methuss. It is able to take a shooting position in an instant. Two
units were built and dropped by shuttle to North America. While one machine was
destroyed in a failed landing attempt, the other was safely collected by
Karaba. It was painted with a red color scheme and called Guncannon Detector by
Hayato Kobayashi.
In UC 0096, a Guncannon Detector was deployed by the
Earth Federation during the assault of Torrington Base, where it disabled
multiple Zeon MS carrier units. The Guncannon Detector was evenutally destroyed
by a squad of the Zeon remnant forces.
30mm Vulcan Gun
These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but
have little power and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it
can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. The weapons are ideal for
shooting down small, fast moving, lightly armored targets such as missiles,
small land vehicles, and attack helicopters.
Beam Gun
Mounted on the right shoulder armor and intended to
function as a med-to close range weapon. It has less power the beam cannons,
but a higher rate of fire.
137mm Rocket Launcher
Beam Rifle
A standard hand carried ranged beam weapon is the beam
rifle. Capable of firing concentrated mega particles, attacks from a beam rifle
are can damage any ordinary armor that has not be specially treated to resist
it. When the technology became available it became standard for beam rifles to
be powered by rechargeable energy caps that can be replaced mid-battle if they
run out of power.
Grenade Launcher
One grenade launcher is attached below the barrel of the
beam rifle.
Beam Cannon
Mounted over the Detector's shoulders, these weapons are
extremely powerful with one shot being enough to destroy a mobile suit. They
also have an unusually high rate of fire due to a pair of cooling vents on the
back of the mobile suit which keep the cannons from overheating.
