Technology & Combat Characteristics
The CGUE DEEP Arms (with DEEP standing for Directional Energy Emission exPerimental) is a mobile suit created to test the beam weapon technology that ZAFT obtained from the four stolen G Project mobile suits from the Earth Alliance. Based on the ZGMF-515 CGUE, it is equipped with a pair of experimental beam cannons that are over 10m in length and mounted on arms linked to a new backpack. It also has modified shoulders and legs units, while the head mounted fin-shaped sensor array has been enlarged to improve the precision of the beam cannons' fire and accuracy of the suit's attack while it is hiding behind cover.

The cannon's large size is firstly due to its long osciliation unit, which is designed as such to ensure high reliability, and secondly, huge, powerful cooling systems to mitigate the serious heating issue that occurs during firing. The cannons also placed additional burden on the suit's body and to cope with it, existing power and cooling units are replaced by newer, high output ones, and additional units are installed in the backpack. Although the beam cannons' cooling issue is not properly solved, their performance reached expectation and data gained during their usage are used by ZAFT to develop subsequent beam weapons. Besides the cannons, the CGUE DEEP Arms's armaments include a heavy laser sword, a long physical sword with a laser edge, and the standard machine gun used by the original CGUE.

Armaments
JDP8-MSY0270 Directed Thermal Energy Cannon
An experimental beam cannon, a pair of them are carried by the suit. They produce a lot of heat when fired and are cooled by powerful cooling systems which occupy more than half of the cannons' length. After every shot, coolant gas carrying the heat are released from the grey exhaust ports located at the sides. Due to this reliance on the coolant gas, the cannons cannot fire properly if only a small amount is left. Forced firing in such situation will cause a meltdown, destroying the cannons.
NOL-Y941 Heavy Laser Sword
A handheld melee weapon developed by ZAFT based on stolen Alliance data. Similar to the Sword Strike's Anti-ship Sword, it has a laser edge for cutting. It is stored in the left side skirt when not in use
MMI-M7S 76mm Heavy Assault Machine Gun
The standard handheld machine gun carried by CGUE and DINN. It is an improved version of GINN's machine Gun and fires a type of armor piercing round designated "APSV," but is incapable of dealing significant damage to enemies protected by Phase Shift armor.
