They mentioned there being more and more mobile suits, but as long as nobody suddenly develops beam weaponry I think we might actually avoid a repeat of 00 here.

Apologies for getting Gunpla in the anime thread, but I think that line may already have been crossed:

Those could be railguns!

I hope those are railguns :ohdear:

The shoulder things very well could be I suppose, but those hip guns have that classic circumcised-dick beam muzzle look to 'em.

Hope I'm wrong. Cutting out beam weaponry was one of the best things that's happened to Gundam in years. I don't think they'll be able to resist, though.

The Grimgerde's rifle would have looked suspiciously beam-weaponesque without the huge drum magazine, now that you mention it. Still, I dunno, the Flauros' lower pair seem weirdly positioned for percussive firearms and also e-pacs are historically a thing. But again, if they keep beam weaponry out of the picture altogether then more power to 'em, no pun intended

Weapons that shoot lasers are hardly a Gundam-only thing!!

I must admit that any Gundam show without that "PsHOOUUuuuwww!" noise is still a bit of a tough read for me.
