Technical and Historical Notes

The MSM-02 Aqua Experiment Type is a prototype that Zimmad Company developed based on the MS-06M (MSM-01) Zaku Marine Type. The Aqua Experiment Type is armed with several missile launchers and vulcan guns. The Aqua Experiment Type's equipment is improved, and though the underwater mobility increases 10-20%, it fails to meet the demand for an underwater combat suit. Since it aims to be an amphibious suits, its performance on land is also poor.
