Technical and Historical Notes

The Efreet Schneid is a close-combat MS that forgoes the original Efreet long heat sword for a total of 14 kunai-like weapons called Heat Darts, stored throughout the whole body. These weapons can be thrown or hand held, and unlike the MS-08TX/N Efreet Nacht's Cold Kunai, are standard heated blades that cause damage to enemy units instead of disabling them, befitting its more overt nature. Over the long years after the One year War in the care of the Zeon remanents, its has been repeatidly upgraded resulting in higher overall performance that matches or exceeds relatively newer suits like the RMS-179 GM II Semi-Striker. The Efreet Scheid has also been seen using a standard Dom Giant Bazooka
