Sorry about that Paladin.<br/><br/>For the time being. All Beam weapons are for "Special Missions" Only. This is confirmed in the 08th MS series as towards the beginning they use only conventional weaponry for the Gundams, but slowly bring in the beam rifles. The explanation for this is that the Production Beam rifles are still undergoing Bench tests and haven't been approved for front line dispersal at this time.<br/><br/>If the thread last long enough, then the Beam weapons will be come more of a mainstay weapon.
