Enemy Blaster

The **Enemy Blaster** (エネミーブラスター, *Enemīburasutā*?) is a Powered Suit developed by Academy City and modified for use in World War III.

## Appearance

The Enemy Blaster is a non-humanoid powered suit with 8 legs and no head, with lenses and sensors built onto the entire body, including a radar receiver on the bottom part of the suit. The waist portion is over 5 meters tall, capable of rotating 360 degrees, and its where the pilot is. Its left arm is twice the size of a human arm and holds a machine gun. Its right arm is 4 times larger, holding a smoothbore gun like a tank. It also has a backpack-like area on its back where it stores the cannon's shells.

## Principles

The Enemy Blaster is armed with a heavy machine gun on its left arm and a smoothbore gun on its right arm. The heavy machine gun on it has a caliber of at least 18mm, a bigger bullet than those used for anti-armor rifles. It can fire fifty times in ten seconds, or around 300 bullets per minute.

The smoothbore gun uses various types of shells. Normally, it uses APFSDS, a type of shell that uses a large amount of pressure to pierce armor instead of explosive powder. It also has a multilayer structure; after it pierces the armor, it sends shards and a shockwave inside. It's a shell that's not intended to be directly used on people, instead meant to be fired at a tank or other armored vehicle and kill the people inside; though the shockwaves it causes are strong enough to knock out people close to the point of impact. It also has secondary anti-infantry rounds: a shell that works like an adhesive non-lethal air stun gun, transmitting a shockwave through a wall in a radial pattern to attack infantry behind cover, and canister shots. After each shot, the Enemy Blaster recharges the cannon by retrieving another shell from its backpack-like area using its smaller left arm.

According to Hattori Hanzou, Academy City's smoothbore guns can hit a target 5000 meters away with greater than 95% probability even while firing rapidly and moving, making its repeated failures to score a direct hit with its gun on the fleeing Hanzou and Fremea Seivelun strange.

However, Hanzou realized the suit uses a wide area electromagnetic signal targeting for precise aiming, but while this method works well in open battlefields and the wide plains of Russia where the suit was intended to operate during World War III, it can't compensate well for an environment full of complex electromagnetic signals being reflected everywhere like a city or an underground mall. Besides its electromagnetic radar, the Enemy Blaster can use infrared equipment and optical aiming. It can also use its numerous sensors to scan the battlefield 360 degrees around itself for threats such as people sneaking up from behind, small landmines and small wireless robots carrying anti-tank rockets. However, the recoil and shockwave produced by its smoothbore gun temporarily blind its sensors after each shot.
