Technical
and Historical Notes
An upgraded
version of the LM111E02 Gun-EZ, the
LM111E03 Gunblaster was designed primarily for space combat.
To fill this role, the Gunblaster was equipped with a pair of
"twin tail" booster binders on its backpack, which increased
the overall rocket thruster output, maneuverability, and fuel
capacity/flight range. With the Gunblaster on an even par with
most BESPA spaceborne mobile suits, almost all of the League
Militaire's Gun-EZs were easily refitted
into Gunblasters and would continue to serve as the mainstay
of their MS forces.
