In that case, you can't use Turn A arguments. ^_^

Okay, this information holds sound, but only pat UC 100 or so...actually,
wait. From what I know of V Gundam, it's set in 153 and not many MSes there
use these bazookas...

How useful is an I-Field that only operates 30-40 seconds? ^_^

Yes, I was just pointing out something. ^_^

Give me some, then. As far as I know, only the Mega Launcher of Hyaku-Shiki
has one.

Ummm, the VSBR can puncture normal beam shields. It stands to reason that
given technological advancements, it'd become even stronger...
