The YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type served as a testbed for new weapons designed for inclusion in the ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam and ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam. Using a ZGMF-600 GuAIZ frame, the backpack thrusters were replaced with a backpack/sub-flight lifter similar to the the Justice Gundam’s Fatum-00. The sub-flight lifter had several built-in armaments, including two beam cannons and several machine guns. The GuAIZ Firearms Type’s hips were equipped with the same “Xiphias” rail cannons used in the Freedom Gundam. The GuAIZ Firearms Type was also armed with CIWS vulcan guns and carried the same beam saber as the Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam. Because the GuAIZ Firearms Type was not a nuclear-powered unit, its weapons and Phase Shift armor were a massive drain on the battery. Due to the power drain, the GuAIZ Firearms Type was connected to a power generator when in use. A GuAIZ Firearms Type participated in the last battle of the Bloody Valentine War at Jachin Due on September 26, C.E. 71, but it was destroyed by Athrun Zala’s Justice Gundam.
