Weapons Systems:
Mk-I/-II/-III:
Tziplanas Morgol-06 (also known under the Terran designation of PLB-18) plasma cannon located on the right shoulder with a traverse of 90 degrees and elevation of -35 to 75 degrees. The cannon can fire a plasma beam with a yield of 19 MJ every two seconds; or a 9.5 MJ beam every second.
Moldile Mistraekor-49 (also known under the Terran designation of RGT-F) 79.2mm triple-barreled rotary liquid-fueled, self-propelled grenade thrower in the central torso. The cannon fires rocket-assisted semi-active laser guided HESH-grenades with a maximum speed of 300 m/s at 180 rpm to a maximum effective range of up to 0.9 km in an Earth-like environment. The ammunition bin under the weapon can contain 80 rounds.
Karatszon Quillo-169 (also known under the Terran designation of PL-7) rapid-fire pulse laser cannon pod (1 or 2): held in the hand. The laser fires between 7 MJ of laser energy in between 3 and 39 pulses per second. The gun pod has its own targeting laser system.
Mk-IV:
Makral Martszur-4 (also known under the Terran designation of PB-10) four-barreled rotary particle beam cannons (2): mounted on the forearms of the mecha. The sub-barrels can each fire a particle beam of 2.5 MJ every second, all can be fired in parallel, for maximum localized damage, or in series for increased chances of a hit.
Makharsz Vawnous-12 (also known under the Terran designation of DP-1) particle beam/pulse cannons, In pulse mode, each cannon fired particles discs ('annihilation discs') at 4000 m/s to a maximum effective range of 8 km. In beam mode, each cannon fired a particle beam. Typically, the cannons fired in series when in beam mode and in parallel when in pulse mode. In both modes the yield of each cannon was 3.5 MJ per second.
Moldile Tszan-83 (also known under the Terran designation of AC-L) 22.3mm autocannons. Each cannon can rotate 150 degrees and elevate from -70 degrees to +60 degrees. The cannon fires caseless armor-piercing (AP) or (more commonly) fragmentation (FRAG) rounds rounds at 850 rpm. The ammunition supply is 2000 rounds.
Karatszon Quillo-152 (also known under the Terran designation of PL-3) pulse laser. The lasers can rotate 360 degrees and elevate from -10 degrees to +85 degrees. Each laser can fire a maximum of 3.5 MJ each second in five to ten separate pulses.
Diwhaug Ratsatoul-10 missile launcher. The Ratsatoul-10 circular launcher for Glatrlan Diwhaug Universal Dogfight type Missiles (UDM) (Terran codename Maggot missiles) had 15 missiles in launch position, and no reloads.
Diwhaug Ratsatoul-10 missile launchers (2): The Ratsatoul-10 circular launcher for Glatrlan Diwhaug Universal Dogfight type Missiles (UDM) (Terran codename Maggot missiles) had 21 missiles in launch position, and no reloads.
