For the Barrel is a novel originally released in Japan from 2000-2002. It is a reinterpretation of the original 1979 TV series Mobile Suit Gundam. Written by Otsuka Gichi, it was serialized in Newtype magazine (but never republished in collected form). The novel depicts an alternative vision of the One Year War, with Ling A-bao (aka Amuro Ray) piloting the machining skin Gunboy-Wilbur against the Zeon forces.
