ZGMF-1000/K Slash ZAKU Warrior

The ZGMF-1000/K Slash ZAKU Warrior is a mobile suit that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Rebels. This specific configuration is rarely used, with the most notable pilot being Shiro Amagi

Combat Abilities
As a mass production mobile suit, the ZAKU Warrior features a rather standard set of armament designed for both close combat and ranged battle. For close combat the suit features a single beam tomahawk which is stored inside a shield. For ranged combat, the suit ususally uses a beam assault rifle, although it can optionally use other hand armaments like a bazooka of a recoilless rifle. The most unusual weapon of the ZAKU are four mobile suit sized hand grenades, of which the ZAKU carries different types. Oddly, the ZAKU lacks the CIWS guns that are standard equipment in most mobile suits of the era.

In addition to the standart armaments of the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior, the Slash ZAKU Warrior is equipped with the EX-K Slash Wizard Pack. The Slash Wizard Pack equips the ZAKU Warrior with a MA-MR Falx G7 beam axe and two MMI-M826 "Hydra" Gatling beam cannons. The combination of these to additional weapons allows the Slash ZAKU Warrior to easily switch between close and long range combat without having to switch weapons, thus making it very efficient and a well rounded mobile suit.

Armaments
As with most other mass production mobile suits, the ZAKU Warrior is equipped with a weapon for close combat. While other suits usually use beam sabers, the ZAKU instead uses a single MA-M8 beam tomahawk. Thanks to its more aerodynamic form, the beam tomahawk can be thrown quite easily, granting it limited ranged combat abilities. When not in use, the tomahawk is stored inside a single physical shield, which is mounted on the left shoulder and which serves as the only defense of the suit. The shield also mounts two extra energy packs for the beam assault rifle.

Stored on the waist of the suit, four hand grenades are among the standard armament of the ZAKU. Several different types can be carried, including fragmentation, high-explosive, and smoke grenades.
 * Hand Grenades

The primary ranged weapon of the ZAKU is an MMI-M633 beam assault rifle, which unlike most beam rifles does not draw power from the mobile suit's battery. Instead, the rifle has its own independent battery, stored in a replaceable clip (similar to the technology used in the Eurasian Federation's Hyperion series), with a pair of extra clips attached to a shield mounted on the ZAKU's left shoulder. Optionally, the suit can also use an M68 "Cattus" 500mm recoilless rifle.

System Features
The MA-MR Falx G7 beam axe is essentially a pole-arm version of the beam tomahawk. The beam axe has a considerably greater range than the beam tomahawk and may even be longer than most beam sabers. The beam axe is divided into two parts for a forwards and back slashing attack, with a metal scythe attached to the bottom of the pole. The weapon's design makes it best suited for swinging slash type attacks.

Mounted on the Slash ZAKU Warrior back are two MMI-M826 "Hydra" Gatling beam cannons. Like the beam sub-machine gun developed by the Eurasian Federation the Gatling beam cannons posses a very high rate of fire, possibly by decreasing the power of each individual shot. Unlike the sub-machine gun or the beam rifles of the ZAKU the Hydra beam cannons are directly connected to the ZAKU's battery so a decreased power in each beam would conserve energy.
