And one other Newtype Gundam pilot also did this, without aid of psycommu
capable mobile suit: Usso Ebbings did it in V2 Gundam.

Well, in comparison to the Enhanced Human of Zeta/ZZ, Amuro might be a bit
weaker. But what do you want, uncontrollable psycho who can move Psycho

Beam Barrier/Shield is just a imaginative application of Beam Saber
technology. It uses a whole lot less energy than I-Field Barrier System.
