Technical and Historical Notes

The MS-07A Gouf was an early production model that was identical to the MS-07B Gouf in all but one respect: weapons. Unlike the MS-07B, the MS-07A did not have built in weapons such a heat rod or machine gun hands. Instead, the MS-07A used Zaku II hand armaments such as a 120mm machine gun. The MS-07A was mostly employed by mobile suit training battalions, but some units saw combat during the One Year War.
