Technology & Combat Characteristics
Armaments
The RX-78-02 Gundam's primary armaments are a pair of beam sabers, mounted one to each side of its backpack, as well as the same beam rifle used by its predecessor, the RX-78-01 Prototype Gundam. In addition to this, it has a pair of vulcan guns mounted in its head, a small gatling gun in a recessed compartment on the right side of its upper torso/right shoulder, and a pair of light machine guns on the left shoulder/upper torso. The RX-78-02's armament is supplemented by a hyper-bazooka, and it is able to exchange its backpack for one that mounts the same armament as the Prototype Gundam, with the left beam saber replaced by a powerful cannon.
Certain images of the RX-78-02 Gundam depict it with what appear to be dual-barreled anti-infantry machineguns in its forearms, a weapon that the Gundam's mass-produced successor, the RGM-79 GM, is depicted as using during Zeon's attack on Jaburo in the manga.
