Lets face it, waiting 2 or 3 episodes during a 15 eps arc and use it only once because you lack time has been a bad thing about Age. Bring them out quickly and we can at least see them being used more then 2 different occasions. |

You know, when the Blustia Cannon came, the capacitor screen suggested that it was already charged to a certain level. I wonder though, where did the rest of the energy came from? Did it come from the AGE-3? Because that seems quite likely the case, in contrast to say the "charge sequence" being for the purpose of releasing energy from the Blustia's storage capacitor into a "primary about to be released" capacitor in the Blustia or whatever.
Which brings me back to the currently perceived way for beam weapons for EFMS to work. Episode 3 decades ago seems to suggest/show that they ran on a capacitor system that can't be recharged by the suit itself (not necessarily definitive but heavily suggests so anyways). Is it possible that Episode 30 would suggest that the AGE-3's powerplants have become powerful enough to charge beam weapon's capacitor directly? I know AGE hardly plays the limited ammo factor into its scenes or storyline; hell it only did it once. Considering the large amount of time passed, its likely that it might pass the problem (maybe even long prior to Gen 3; especially given how its HARDLY a problem) but I guess to me this might be the first actual sign/evidence we've seen in series that it's powerful enough, especially to charge such a large amount of beam energy in such a relatively short time. Maybe its more like in 00 now where the powerplant directly charges the capacitors/or directly linked with the weapons.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we might have seen our first direct evidence of a EFMS put direct beam energy charge into a weapon, which didnt seem to be possible fifty decades ago, at least not from that one example we had anyways.

Given the size and firepower of the Sigmasis Rifle, I wouldn't be surprised if it has an actual on-board generator in place of a capacitor. Kind of like how the Dominions' GN Bazooka has its own GN Drive. Given how Kio fired three shots in relatively quick succession, I can't see a capacitor or any other storage device having the kind of capacity needed to support that kind of firing rate with that kind of output.

One case in point would be 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G. It was able to Trans-Am (albeit, for 0.03 seconds) with two Large GN Condensers, but can't do it at all with one Large GN Condenser and one GN Drive. Still, the idea of independent powerplants is interesting. I recall the MG AGE-1 manual mentioned that the AGE-1's limbs each had their own power sources. Not sure whether it elaborated whether they were capacitors or generators though, "power source" can be used differently at times.

For our intents and purposes, we haven't seen a limit to the Sigmasis' number of shots or even a charging requirement like the attachment had. I think if there were they would have shown us already. The show was pretty quick to establish a limit to the AGE-1's DODS Rifle; I think if the Sigmasis had that kind of limitation it would have been hinted at or shown already. That kind of firepower kind of warrants a limitation like that to be established almost immediately if it actually existed.

Of course, following 00 model for most suits (Which have a powerplant generation level not keeping up with usage), the capacitors do run out after awhile and must recharge from the powerplant, so if AGE-3 presumbly follows the same model of a 00 normal GN suit, the Sigmaxiss (and the capacitors in other places) is going to run low after a certain number of shots before it needs to wait to recharge again. The probability of this be guessed/measured by observing how extensive the Sigmaxiss is used in a certain period.

Maybe the energy came from the Sigmaxis's "shots"? kind of like a charged shot, where the trigger was held for the energy to be placed into the blustia attachment, and when enough energy was stored, Kio released the trigger and the burst came out.
Kind of like the split second when the diva had to shoot into the Photon Ring and it "charged" the shot up to full power. except for the fact that the photon ring charged itself up. |

AGE-3 -> 50 MW (for illustrative purposes only) -> Storage Device -> 50 MW -> Sigmasis blast. If that is the case, why not just use: AGE-3 -> 50 MW (again, for illustrative purposes only) -> Sigmasis blast. It's a much more simple process and more in line with engineering principles (aka KISS), and we know from the photon cannon on the Diva that the actual weapon doesn't take up very much space. It's reasonable to assume the weapon in the Sigmasis doesn't take up all that space in the weapon's structure. Quote:

Also, I'm personally not of the opinion that the only energy form in question is just electricity. Not really relying on much (and I dont treat it as a fact, just personal speculation/theory) since we have little info on specific ammunition type used, but I always assumed at this point that there was a beam particle of sorts that's already stored in the gun capacitor for the other weapons and that these particles are literally the ammunition for the beam.

Or, they just could have a boring beam saber mode.
