GAT-01A1+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Dagger is a mobile suit introduced in the original design series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED MSV. It is most notably piloted by Morgan Chevalier.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A variant of the GAT-01A1 Dagger (aka 105 Dagger) piloted by the "Moonlight Mad Dog", Morgan Chevalier. The Gunbarrel Dagger mounts the AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Striker as a Striker Pack, granting the suit usage of the remote controlled Wired Gunbarrels (which could only be controlled by individuals with high spatial awareness, like Morgan) and perhaps the Striker's Gatling gun, in addition to the Dagger's standard weaponry. The Gunbarrel Striker can be automated or piloted, and if it is the latter, the front section can be detached after the Striker Pack docks to the Dagger's back, which make sense as the unit's pilot is useless after the pack docks with the MS. In fact, this is what Morgan often does if the pack is delivered in battle by a pilot. As the wires of the wired gunbarrels can be easily severed during combat, a backup Gunbarrel Striker is always prepared in advance and send out when almost all the wired gunbarrels have been severed or destroyed.

Armaments[]

  • "Igelstellung II" 40mm Multi-barrel CIWS
The Gunbarrel Dagger mounts two "Igelstellung II" 40mm multi-barrel CIWS guns in its head to shoot down incoming missiles or enemies at close range. Unlike the earlier G-project machines and Strike Dagger's, these CIWS are smaller in caliber to increase the amount of ammunition available. By using the FCS automatic control system, the CIWS can automatically engage incoming enemy units.
  • ES01 Beam Saber
A pair of model ES01 beam sabers are stored on the side skirt armor. They serve as the suit's main close combat weapon.
  • 12.5mm Anti-infantry Gun
A shell-firing machine gun mounted in each foot. They are used to shoot down enemy soldiers on the ground and can cause severe damage to an area filled with humans. They are installed to avoid the criticism that against infantry, MS’s weapons are overkill.
The Gunbarrel Dagger is equipped with four wired gunbarrels, each mounting one GAU-758S railgun and two M70AMSAT missiles. The wired gunbarrels can be detached from the back-mounted Gunbarrel Striker and controlled through wires to attack an enemy from multiple directions. They can function as additional boosters when attached to the Striker, increasing its speed or the speed of the MS to which it is docked to. Like the ones on Moebius Zero, the wired gunbarrels are usable only by pilots with high spatial awareness.
  • M58E4 Gatling Gun
Mounted on the bottom of the Gunbarrel Striker, it is positioned backwards when the Striker is mounted on the Dagger. It is unknown if it can be used by the Dagger, and if it is possible, it is likely used for firing at pursuing enemy units due to its position.
  • GAU-8M2 52mm Machine Gun
A rapid-firing shell based weapon, it is one of the two ranged handheld weapon for the Gunbarrel Dagger. Although not as powerful as a beam weapon, it also does not drain energy from the suit's battery.
  • M703 57mm Beam Rifle
An alternative handheld ranged weapon used by the Gunbarrel Dagger, it is the same rifle as the one used by GAT-01 Strike Dagger. It can easily destroy a ZGMF-1017 GINN with one shot, but is mostly ineffective against armor with anti-beam coating. A grenade launcher is mounted at the bottom and although the grenades are not very effective against large ships, they are still useful as anti-mobile suit weapons.
  • Shield
The same shield as used by Strike Dagger, it is meant to intercept attacks that the pilot cannot or will not dodge. The shield is also anti-beam coated and can block or deflect energy based attacks from beam weapons. However, the shield has its limit and can be damaged or even destroyed by extremely powerful attack, such as a positron cannon blast.

History[]

Originally, the plan for Gunbarrel Striker was to equipped it onto the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam that was stationed on the Archangel. The resulting GAT-X105+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Strike Gundam was meant to be Mu La Flaga's personal unit, but as the plan did not materialize due to Mu's defection, the Gunbarrel Striker was passed on to "Moonlight Mad Dog" Morgan Chevalier, who also has high spatial awareness, for use with his 105 Dagger.[1] Morgan used the Gunbarrel Dagger in many battles during the First Alliance-PLANT War. In one such battle, he fought against the CAT1-X1/3 Hyperion Gundam Unit 1 piloted by Canard Pars at the Ptolemaeus lunar base, when Canard attacked the base to get a Neutron Jammer Canceller. He only survived this battle because of Prayer Reverie urging him to detach his Gunbarrel Striker.[2] Later, Morgan and his Gunbarrel Dagger participated in the Battle of Boaz, during which he led a large force of Strike Daggers to clear the way for the Peacemaker Force's nuclear missile-equipped TS-MA2 Moebius units. In the final battle of the war, the Second Battle of Jachin Due, Morgan and his Gunbarrel Dagger led a squad of seven other 105 Daggers (equipped with the Aile, Sword, and Launcher Striker packs) against a ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type squad led by Mikhail "Doctor" Coast and also fought a YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type, piloted by Heine Westenfluss.

After the war, Morgan piloted his Gunbarrel Dagger against rogue Alliance ace and South American revolutionary Edward "Ed the Ripper" Harrelson. Following a brief battle, Morgan used the wires of the wired gunbarrels to immobilize Ed's GAT-333 Raider Full Spec and forced it deep into Earth's gravity well. Morgan however declined to take a killing shot and instead gave the "Hero of South America" the opportunity to prove himself by surviving the seemingly impossible situation, which Ed eventually did.[3] During the Second Alliance-PLANT War, Morgan moved on from the Gunbarrel Dagger to the TS-MA4F Exus mobile armor.[4]
