Webmaster's notes: The MSM-10 Zock was a revolutionary design, the first amphibious mobile suit to mount hoverjets, enabling it to hover over water as well as swim through it. Mouting eight powerful mega particle cannons, four facing either direcion, the Zock was a deadly foe, capable of destroying virtually anything in its path and equipping heavy armor while still moving quite quickly on its hoverjets. Despite being ready for mass production, the Zock was produced in very small numbers, most likely due to expense or the shift of the war from the Earth to space. Best evidence suggests that the photon maser gun is simply a new kind of Zeon laser weapon (though I have never seen it fired).
