The RX-77 Guncannon is from the Original Mobile Suit Gundam series or the movie trilogy. Its a Mobile Suit that was meant for long range combat as it has zero close range weapons, along with the Guntank those two are very dangerous when they are together. The Guncannon and Guntank are a very formiddible duo seeing as how they are able to pick off Mobile Suits with ease.

As you can see, it has close-range and long-range armaments. The vulcans may not e powerful, but they still are close-range.

Vulcans are for medium range. The beam rifle is of a sinper design seeing as how its a prototype. Close range means up close and personal like beam sabers etc. The only thing remotely close to close range is the Guncannon's punches and kicks which we hardly see in the series.

Its no problem there used to be a thread open where you could ask about any of the Mobile Suits from the gundam series but somehow it was closed for some odd reason. It would be nice to see it re-opened so that if anyone else had any questions it could be asked there. Oh well enough of my rambling, it was honestly no problem helping.
