WEAPON SYSTEMS:

1. ARM-MOUNTED 110mm MACHINEGUNS (2): Mounted on each arm of the Gelgoog is an 110mm Machinegun, it is the only built-in weapon system on the Gelgoog Marine.
Primary Purpose: Close Range Assault
Mega-Damage: 2d4x10+30 M.D. each (10 round burst).
Range: 3000ft
Rate of Fire: Bursts equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks.
Payload: 100 rounds per Machinegun, that's 10 bursts for each arm.

2. 0.38 MW BEAM SABERS: These revolutionary mecha-sized melee weapon were first used on the RX-78 Gundam mobile suit. The beam saber works on the same principle as the beam rifle, except that the mega particles are captured and stored in a strong electromagnetic field instead of projected in a beam. The result is a concentrated energy blade which is one of the deadliest weapons in the Gundam universe.
The beam saber only contains enough energy and mega particles for about 60 seconds of continuous use. When not inuse, the beam sabers are stored in the backpack of the mecha, where they are recharged by the Gelgoog's reactor. The Gelgoog can switch the beam saber on and off while holding it, in order to conserve power. Once totally depleted it takes 30 minutes for a beam saber to recharge to full capacity.
The Gelgoog Marine carries 2 beam sabers mounted on its backpack.
Primary Purpose: Melee Combat
Mega-Damage: 5d6x10 M.D.
Range: The blade has a range of 15-30 ft (5-10 m) and is adjustable.
Payload: The beam saber can function continuously for 60 seconds (4 melee rounds) before running out of power. Once discharged, the beam saber must be returned to the Gelgoog's backpack where it can recharge at a rate of 1 second of power per 30 seconds of charging.
 

3. MMP-80 90mm MACHINEGUN: This is the standard ranged weapon on the Gelgoog Marine. It's easy to produce, and ammo is cheaper.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: 2d6x10 for a short burst, 3d6x10 for a long burst.
Range: 4,000ft
Rate of Fire: Bursts equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks
Payload: 32 rounds, short burst uses 3 rounds, long burst uses 9 rounds. Empty clips can be replaced but take two melee actions/attacks. Two are stored.

OPTIONAL HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: Punch does 3D6 M.D. (5d6 if punching w/ 'Knuckle' Shield), Body Block does 3D6 M.D., Kick does 4D6 M.D., Leap Kick does 5D6 M.D., Stomp does 3D6 M.D., but is limited to targets no more than 16 feet tall. Body flip does 2D6 M.D. Pilots who have experience with giant robots get full bonuses from Robot Basic combat training.

SYSTEMS NOTE: The Gelgoog is well manueverable in space, +1 to dodge in space.

OPTICAL TARGETING SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have very sophisticated optical tracking systems to assist the pilot in targeting. This system provides the pilot with a +2 to hit when using projectile or beam weapons. However, since the tracking system is optical, the target must be IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT from the MS in order to get the bonus.
COMBAT COMPUTER: Contains data on up to 120 different vehicles (both friend and foe). Can call up and project data on the HUD screens in the cockpit.
"SKIN TOUCH" COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have sensitive microphones in their cockpits that can pick up a pilot's voice and project it to vibrating devices on the surface of the hand. By grasping hands with another Mobile Suit, the first mecha can transmit these vibrations to the other mecha. Sensors on the other mecha translate these vibrations into sounds and projects them via speakers in the cockpit. The result is a secure method of communication between mecha that cannot be intercepted by enemy scanners.
LASER COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: The Gelgoog has a laser based communications system that allows the mecha to communicate over long distances. The only disadvantage is that the mobile suits have to be looking at each other in order communicate.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS: Backup; usually doesn't work due to Minovski interference.
COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SYSTEM: Identical to the system described on Pg. 214 of the Rifts RPG book.
