The machine performance and armament described in this article are all based on our own research and are unsubstantiated delusions.
MS Name: RX-77-1A Guncannon A

Referenced: Guncannon, Guncannon SML, Guntank (Weapon Arms)
Machine Concept
An experimental enhancement of the standard Guncannon. While maintaining the iconic shoulder-mounted 240mm cannons, it incorporates unique 3-tube missile launchers into its forearms. It offers slightly improved mobility compared to the base model, functioning as a more versatile mid-range fire support platform.
Combat Characteristics: A reliable 350-cost Support unit. It excels at a "double-stun" routine: using the shoulder cannons to break an enemy's posture, then following up with the high-accumulation arm missiles. Unlike Guntank models, its manipulators remain fully functional for melee self-defense.

- Blow (Melee Priority 1)
- Head-Mounted Vulcan
- Observational Data Link
- High Performance Radar: LV1
- High Performance Scope: LV1
- High Performance Balancer
- High Performance Aerospace Gimbal
- Frontline Support System: LV1
Integrated forearm weaponry that does not hinder the use of manipulators. With a 300-damage rating per missile and 9 rounds in the magazine, it serves as an excellent tool for dealing consistent damage or building up stagger accumulation while the main cannons are on cooldown.
Tactical Versatility
Possesses High Performance Balancer, a rarity for pure support tanks of its era, allowing for immediate melee defense or dash-cancel maneuvers. This makes it significantly harder to pin down than a standard RGM-77.
240mm Cannon x2
The bread and butter of the Guncannon line. Provides the necessary instant-stun to set up the rest of the unit's toolkit, including the specialized arm missiles and the high-output beam rifle.
