    1. It's called a beam jitte. Throwback to Stardust where it's used to catch beam sabers

    2. It's a beam jitte it's used to grab an enemy beam saber to block it and disarm the enemies beam saber from it. It's more like I can't draw my beam saber that so it's a quick access.

    3. The beam jitte attached to the Banshee's beam magnum is a specialized beam saber designed to catch enemy beam sabers, allowing the pilot to quickly counter when there is no time to draw out his main beam saber.

    4. It's a beam saber stuffed down the barrel.

    5. That is the beam jitte. A quick bayonet like beam blade, shaped for catching other blades without having to draw a beam saber. They've also appeared on the GP-01's beam rifle.

    10. A beam jitte. It's meant to parry beam sabers when the mobile suit doesn't have enough time to draw out one. The two beams makes it easier to parry.

    11. Two beams is better than one no?

    12. It's a beam Jitte, first pioneered on GP01, it is for a quick parry of a beam saber attack when drawing a normal beam saber would take too long.

    13. It's a beam jitte, usually used for parrying beam sabers whenever the suit doesn't have enough time to draw its own melee weapon. the Gundam Zephyranthes from 0083 also had one on its rifle that it used in its final battle with the Physalis. A few of the Zeta-era beam rifles, including the Zeta and Hyaku Shiki's, could also generate beam saber blades.
