>Shot comes out of the end (Jegan, Nu Gundam)>Shot comes out of the face (Bawoo, Rozen Zulu)>Shot comes out of the side (can't think of an example)Which style do you prefer?For me, it's the face. Front toward enemy, both on defense and on offense!
i prefer shields that work well as shields
>>24035130>Shot comes out of the side (can't think of an example)It's not a shot but some shields have beam edge emitters on the side to act as a melee weapon
>>24035130I love shield weaponseveryone should have one
>>24035130I don't like when shields have exposed beam emmiters, X divider's shield on the other perfected this approach.
>>24035183Don't you think they could just spin that really fast with the robotic wrist it has that way there's more shots all over the place. Missed opportunity. X sucks yet again.
>>24035207it's a beam harmonica, not beat gatling
>>24035130Face if the shield has an i field so the barrels/emitter doesnt get shot. Idk if bawoo hsd it but i know rozen deflected beams with it.otherwise end is better
Gyan has the best shield weapon
>>24035130Your picture clearly shows Jegan shield got weapon on the sides
>>24035432In order to use its shield weapon, the Jegan points the end of the shield at the enemy.
>>24035440Aye, fair enough
>>24035130There is the gyagya which has all of the above
>>24035183Hilariously uselesss but I guess it looks cool
AoZ is the undisputed king of shield gimmicks, from the basic booster shields to the "I field + Claw + Heat Blade + Booster + Beam saber + Beam Gun + Psycommu drone" monstrosities later MS get
>>24038515>hilariously uselessNigga that got used more than the sattelite cannon. Dividers sheild is one of the better offensive shields in this franchise.
>>24035130[x]end[x]side[x]face
>>24035130they have yet to surpass the original
>>24038667What's the point of having 5 barrels all right next to each other? In case you miss by 1 beam's width?
>>24038897Basically, yeah. That's the reason volley guns were invented, in order to compensate for the lack of accuracy with sheer firepower.
>>24040919But lack of accuracy isn't an issue for beam weapons. Also, weren't volley guns invented to compensate for the extremely long reload times of muzzle-loading firearms? Also not an issue for beams
>>24041817But an enemy MS moving out of the way is, which is amply demonstrated in the show.>Also, weren't volley guns invented to compensate for the extremely long reload times of muzzle-loading firearms?And there were also volley designs that were breech loading. Metal Storm was basically the same concept and that's a long way from caring about muzzle loading times. What the concept may or may not have been originally designed around has minimal bearing on anything.
>>24041842And metal storm wasn't adopted by anyone because it was useless and dumb
>>24041860And plenty of weapons have been adopted despite being useless and dumb. It doesn't matter. The point is that long reload times aren't a thing that people are trying to solve with this setup.
>>24038897same principle as big ma's having beam spread guns dotted all over them. Coverage.
