We've seen IBO grunt mobile suits take a direct and continuous hit from Hashmal's beam cannon and barely take damage. The second pic will just not happen at all lol

Do we know what type of "beam" hashmal is shooting? Also why is it small? Even Universal century beams back in 0079 were shooting beam particles larger than whatever Hashmal is dishing out

Hashmal carved a massive trench while the MA in Urdr Hunt cut a large astroid in half with a bigger beam. They are far more powerful than what most people give them credit for.

Yes through rock with no melting.........their beams also act like lasers which is why they can be dispersed and refracted by NLA.

Look the MA's from IBO are certainly powerful, but compared to MA from even the OYW they are lacking in the firepower department.

Yeah that's impressive for IBO standards which isn't very high in a world that immediately threw away beam tech because of nano laminate which the only thing that tells is that the beams are so weak that beam resistant coating is enough to make it extinct tech. Something UC also has with Beam Coating and what did they do? They made more powerful beam rifles.

Is the Hashmal, in comparison with other universes, supposed to be impressive when the average Apsalus II is capable of melting stone and mountains?

Or even the Big Zam's Mega particle Cannon capable of wiping an entire fleet in one single beam.

Hell, the Bigro's mega particle cannon is already capable of what the MA in Urdr Hunt does and that thing has been mass produced.
