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.



Armaments:
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.
