Original Mobile Suit Design: Marc Daoust
Original Artwork: Marc Daoust
Background:
With a need for effective fire support units, the Federation designed the
RGM-79FS GM Fire Support Type. The heavy 220mm Chain-Fed Machinegun was one of
the biggest rapid-fire weapons ever equipped on any Mobile Suit, and did
considerable damage in battle. The downside was that this large bore machinegun
slowed the GM down quite a bit, and prevented it from carrying any other
optional weapons. Another problem that arose was its poor close combat
abilities, although since it was designed to be a fire support unit it was
usually assigned to attack from the rear lines or from a secured position. This
unit is especially effective as a defensive unit, usually firing from a trench
or other types of cover, which it did in the Panama Incursion. A group of 5
managed to cover the airfield at an E.F.F. base in Panama when it was attacked
by 4 MS-07F Gouf Fire-Starters. After loosing the base in a surprise attack, the
GM Fire Support Types were deployed to defend the airfield until the C-88 Medias
could take off.
