One of the more successful designs employed by the Earth Federation Forces in the early UC 0100s was the RGM-119 Jamesgun. Considered the distant descendant of the first Federation mass-production mobile suit, the RGM-79 GM, the Jamesgun was nevertheless equipped with more up-to-date weapons, including the highly effective beam shield. Due to its ease of maintenance and operation, the Jamesgun would prove to be a highly popular unit, remaining in the Federation Forces' inventory for several decades. Over time, however, its role would be reduced to such unglamorous tasks as providing security for material transport ships. As a result, the Jamesgun would prove to be a poor match against the modern and far superior mobile suits employed by the Zanscare Empire during their invasion in the early UC 0150s.
