Bypass the cap and draw from an external generator instead, and the rifle rivals a battleship's main gun in firepower and range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe generator mode needs its own cooling.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nOn the direct-feed setting the control signal and idling power travel through the suit, so suit and rifle are force-cooled and tied to the generator by cables and pipes. A backpack combining power source and cooling lets the suit leave its position and set an ambush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe shield doubles as a firing rest.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe spiked tip of the forearm shield can be driven into the ground as a free-standing frontal defence.

This one is the ground forces' RGM-79[G], a GM Ground Type adjusted around a single rifle, and the two share a name rather than a frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:16px 0 4px;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:17px;font-weight:700;line-height:1.35;\"\u003e2.
