Technical and Historical Notes

The GAT-X105+AQM/E-X03 Launcher Strike Gundam is equipped for long range combat similar to the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam. Its main weapon is the 'Agni' 320mm impulse cannon, which is powerful enough to blast through a space colony's wall. Additionally, the Launcher Strike Gundam is equipped with a combination weapons pod on its right shoulder, which includes a 120mm anti-ship vulcan gun and 350mm gun launchers. The AQM/E-X03 Launcher Striker is the first Striker pack to be used in battle by Kira Yamato and proves to be too powerful when it damages the space colony Heliopolis. Like the other Striker packs, the Launcher Striker can be docked with the support fighter FX-550 Sky Grasper.
