I wasn't talking about the binders as a whole; I was referring to the wings which fold out of the binders:

Talking about GN blades...does Arios big claw count as GN blades??

Can Arios big claw penetrate the GN fields??

No. They cut using beam energy, so its more of a "GN Beam Claw" than a solid-state GN Blade

Can Arios big claw penetrate the GN fields??

My understanding is that any solid object saturated with GN Particles can pass through a GN Field if enough force is behind it.

[justavisitor]

So I am assuming it can then XD

just sometimes wonder what would happen if garazzo opens the GN field in the last battle against Arios

Considering who was piloting the Arios, I don't think it would have made any difference whatsoever.

Hiling could do little more then turn the Garazzo on without Veda holding her hand, she would have gotten beat like a rented mule even if she had engaged the GN field it would taken longer probably.

They're either made to increase aerodynamic maneuverability, or they're GN Blades for semi-melee combat in fighter mode.

That's what I was wondering. There's no doubt they have aerodynamic purposes, but it seems like a waste to hide them like that if they don't double as GN Blades.

No, I imagine its mainly for to keep the asymmetry theme. Just like 00Q's shoulder plates are very different.

Won't surprise me if it was a prototype of the Braves. Not all prototypes are deployable in battle.

Considering the hundreds of numbers missing in the GN-X line, I would not be bothered too much by it. May appear as a variant later for all we know.

I mean - did Graham have any melee action?

Not as far as I remember.

Spoiler for minor- comments on length of appearance:

Its not like they had that much screen-time. Got more than 00Q at least.

Not they don't count.

Hard to say, I think it may have a hard time frankly, they cut using some sort of beam energy although grasp is probably the better word.

It depends when because it lost its GN Drive at some point and that will make it very hard I imagine to deploy it.

It has limited uses of it anyways according to the HG manual so H(AL) would still have advantage using hit and run tactics.

The Flags in general apply an electromagnetic field at the front to increase their aerodynamics, which is why they can fly fast despite not being aerodynamic traditionally. The field is generated by the Linear Rifle, which works using bullets accelerate electromagnets in the first place.

Not sure what Braves use though. Since it's only seen in space. It also depends on whether it was designed primarily for atmospheric or space purposes. Usually their designed to specialized in either based on a specific configuration.

Thank for the info; I wasn't aware of that.

Is it possible it's designed for both? The folding wings would make more sense if it were, assuming they are in fact not GN Blades. Also, if the Braves are atmosphere-capable it would make some sense to have the wings, unless the GN Beam Rifles or the waist binders can generate a magnetic field as well.

@SonicSP

Then can Cherudim's pistol be counted as GN blade then?? I think I read the manual before and GN-pistol got covered by anti-beam coating...I assume it the not exactly the same thing as GN blade?? So it can't get through the GN-field??

I don't think so. Anti-beam coating merely allows a surface to better resist beam weaponry. Even if Cherudim's pistols had some kind of blade (maybe a carbon blade like the old Tierens), it would still have a very hard time getting through a GN Field. If, however, the GN Beam Pistol IIs use an actual GN Blade (which I don't remember ever being stated), then it would easily be able to do it.

Has anyone noticed any similarities between the ELS and the silver blood from Star Trek: Voyager?

[console65]

You know the cool handguns gundam meisters and other members of celestial being carry around? How does it fire with such a short barrel and where is the magazine loaded?

[Zantetsuken]

I have a hunch that in 00's time, small arms already use electromagnetic fields.

I doubt it. In 00's world, linear rifles have a blue firing effect. The small arms in the series still have that traditional yellow effect.

Not sure about the magazine but I'm pretty sure the barrel is longer than it looks.

I have the same hunch, it reminds me of how the small arms in Code Geass works, where they rely on electromagnets instead of gunpowder (and the ammunitions are all caseless). Of course in that world they never used gunpowder in their handguns at all historically.

The only problem with that is that unless there were unprecedented advances in superconductors (which is, of course, quite possible), then the barrels are far too short to give any bullet the significant amount of acceleration that a bullet needs to be given.

Well............there IT has been 300 years.

Surprisingly though, I barely see any recoil off them whatever the case.

Which is why I said it was quite possible.

The US military is already developing assault rifles which redirect the recoil downwards rather than backwards; don't know how though. Even then a lot of the recoil is the result of the weapon ejecting the bullet casing, and the fact that your pretty much making an EXPLOSION GO OFF inside the chamber. Given that its three hundred years in the future, it would be child's play to make a recoil-less handgun.
