![]() ![]() Mobile Suit Gundam Wing has the Wing Gundam and Gundam Heavyarms, both of whose main guns (the buster rifle and beam Gatling respectively) have no means of being reloaded and occasionally get ditched in order to reduce weight.In order to keep its overall weight down, it carries a pair of shotguns and a pair of bazookas, all of which are Throw Away Guns once these are expended, all it has left are its beam sabers and head vulcans. Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket features the Kämpfer, an assault-type mobile suit and the very definition of Glass Cannon.In later series, smaller, magazine-style energy packs for the beam rifles are introduced allowing them to be reloaded on the fly & this trope becomes much less prevalent. In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Amuro had a tendency to toss away the beam rifle when it expended its ammo, but this is justified since it could only be recharged on the ship. ![]() ![]() And given that he charges seven figure fees for his services, he can afford to discard his old guns and buy new ones (with his preferred rifle only costing in the low four digits in reality) whenever he wants to. Golgo 13 does this on occasion, mainly because if he gets rid of the gun he just used to kill somebody (in a way that the gun can't be found later), there's one less piece of evidence that can be used to prove he was the killer.In Digimon Frontier, MagnaGarurumon throws his BFG when its out of ammo to bring out its lightsabers.
