![]() ![]() However, it is still a highly destructive portable weapon. As the warhead is not equipped with a guidance device, it is extremely hard to use the Sturm Faust to hit a moving target accurately. It is commonly used by Zeon mobile suits in the late stages of the One Year War. The Kämpfer can be equipped with two Giant Bazookas, and they are stored on its back when not in use.Ī simplified, disposable rocket launcher. Compared to the original Giant Bazooka, both the bazooka's shape and its shell were redesigned, greatly improving its attack power. The same Giant Bazooka as used by the MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II. The Kämpfer is capable of carrying two of these shotguns, one stored on the rear waist armor, while the other is carried in the hands. It can be loaded via pump-action, or automatically by an electric mechanism. It has a 9-round capacity with known ammunition including slugshot, luna titanium 00 buckshot, and MS-use birdshot (BB shot). Specifically designed for assault-type MS, this weapon is of the same type as the one used by the MS-08TX Efreet. The Kämpfer has two beam sabers, one stored in each thigh. This equipment was developed from the engagement data with RX-78-2 Gundam. It emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The beam saber is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when deployed and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, attack vehicles, etc. These shell firing weapons have high rate of fire but little power, and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. The Kämpfer was intended to be operated by special forces, and was built to be easily disassembled and reassembled in blocks, aiding in its infiltration behind enemy lines.Īn uncommon feature on Zeon MS, the Kämpfer has two Vulcan Guns in the head similar to Federation's mobile suits. Weapon racks were designed to be ejected from the unit as they were expended, minimizing dead weight. The choice of conventional shell-based weapons rather than beam weapons was made to reduce the drain on its reactor and resultant drop in speed. The Kämpfer's design opted for minimal armor, even removing the hip-mounted skirt armor found on most mobile suits. Conversely, the large number of thrusters resulted in higher fuel consumption rate, limiting its operational time. It was equipped with numerous thrusters and verniers to achieve high maneuverability. ![]() Within this role it was an exceptional unit, rivaling the Federation's RX series in firepower and speed. The Kämpfer was a very focused design, never intended to work outside of its role. The "E" in the MS-18E Kämpfer's model number was an abbreviation for the German word " Einhauen," which translates to "one strike." "One strike" summed up the suit's role as a fast assault unit that was meant to strike quickly, cause massive damage with its varied weapons loadout, and make a fast escape. ![]()
