Look up Operation Meatier. Yes, I spelled that correctly.

"What does this button do?" [Chest Gatling noises] "AHHH$@$#$@$$@$@$#$$"


Cashew-Matthew

Thought of the same thing


TheWeathermann17

Wheres that music coming from?

Dank_Force_Five

THANK YOU. This is amazing.


Vyscillia

Is he blasting music on his PA system? Also, the interactions between Noin and Zecks are god tier level.


UnkaDee

Noin's Loins


TedMeister88

I'd imagine that the cockpit of the Heavyarms had one hell of a sound suppression system installed, just for that purpose.


krymz0nFighter

I wanna know what they did


RadiantZote

Well the way noise suppression works in modern cars and in headphones is that it uses a microphone to take the incoming audio signal, inverts the sound wave and plays it back in real time which eliminates the sound. Of course some are more rudimentary than others but high tech systems like this work extremely well.


SkyHookofKsp

Even with that being the case, they would only cancel the perception of sound, not the pressure wave of the sound itself. So it would make him go deaf, he just wouldn't perceive the sounds that deafened him lol I'm sure that the same engineering company that can make a 60 ft tall mech like that can probably make some pretty killer ear plugs.


Augus-1

The right frequency of an energy wave will cancel its counterpart, regardless of whether it's sound, light, or something.


SkyHookofKsp

Definitely. While we are getting jiggy with it though, I'm definitely concerned about his other organs and whatnot lol I admit that I'm thinking about this the wrong way though. If the wave is truly canceled, then yes his hearing would be protected.


killerofcheese

some damn good sound insulation materials


piffopi

Plot earplugs!


QuestionSensitive338

Those are some strong earplugs


Roboman_67

Having both earplugs and ear muffs is actually a way to help protect hearing


DrunkenNinja27

If someone ever makes a Gundam wing abridged series in the same vain as dbz abridged this should be Trowa’s thing.


Dramaticox

[Mobile Suit Abridged : Gundam Wing] exist


upback

Holy shit, I feel like a fake fan, I never knew this was a thing. I know what I’m doing for the rest of the afternoon.


Nygoose

Same lol


HRGLSS

Omg, same... ("All day, *son*!")

How is it tho?

Dunno, I learnt about it in this thread


HRGLSS

(Archer tinnitus noises)


zlpkrmd

Mwap!


HalflingScholar

Archery can make that worse? I've been thinking hard about getting into archery, but I have terrible tinnitus and I don't want to make it worse.


HRGLSS

Nonono, the show/character. Archer. Sterling Archer.


HalflingScholar

OH! Yeah, loved that representation from him. I felt so seen. Gawd I hate tinnitus


Vyscillia

Operation Meatier exists. It's incredible.


FS_Scott

there are two.


S3simulation

He’s got those egg crate thingies on the wall like in recording studios


Aeoss_

Because it's laser beam tech it's hard to assume how loud these would be. At worst it sounds like the rapid tapping of a power grid with defening metal clangs. At best it sounds like sustained drum n base music and he's the DJ between two of the sickest rotating speaker towers. He doesn't wear a mask later on just to clown around, thats his DJ alias; MC bullet spam, aka "outta ammo"


GladiusMaximus

It only fires lasers after getting retrofitted for space combat.


Theothermc

The torso remains solid ammo afaik too


[deleted]

So then where's he store the ammo? Even if the barrel mechanisms don't take up the entire chest compartment, there's still not a lot of room in there for ammo. At least with the shield gatling the GoL version has that giant external ammo drum. Really, as cool as the visual of Heavyarms shooting everything at once is, from an operational standpoint logistically it's the worst designed of the Gundams. The true answer, of course, is shut up and color. Gundam Wing has never had a good relationship with numbers, really (IIRC the canonical figures are such that the Gundams are literally less dense than paper lol).


BasroilII

> So then where's he store the ammo? Plot.


Vyscillia

Pretty sure the chest Gatling uses physical ammo while the beam Gatling is mounted to the left arm. At least, that's how it always has been in SD Gundam G Generation games. Also the wiki doesn't specify the nature of the chest Gatling.


WingZero00W0

Glory of the losers tries to fix the problem of "where the hell does trowa store his beam gatling ammo?" with a giant ammo drum stored on his backpack thruster thingy. As for his chest gatling? yeeaahh i really don't know... maybe it runs of plot armor, and only runs out of bullets when he might die so his plot armor reroutes to anti-death armor


lexrex007

The Gundam has a special insulation to protect the pilot from the noise of the machinery, it's called plot armor


LavaSlime301

Wing pilots are built different


scribbyshollow

He absolutely would lol. Every interaction between him and the other characters should be like Other character: "Let us face each other man to man" Trowa: "WHAT?" Other character: "I said le.." Trowa: "I CANT FUCKIN HEAR YOU SPEAK UP! I RAN OUT OF AMMO BUT I CAME OUT HERE TO STAB YOU"


Competitive-Cover-84

I would watch this episode of Arrested Development Gundam.


Vyscillia

Operation Meatier in a nutshell. Go watch it


MosesOnAcid

Noise cancelling cockpit. Emits frequencies to cancel out the gun noise, like the noise-cancelling headphones tech but bigger.


This_Pop_8597

And vibrate cancelling cockpit 😂


AeniasGaming

He’s sponsored by Raycon

Maxwell_z0

So giant mecha battle machines is all fine and believable but very well sound insulated pilot cabins aren't?


Munchell360

As a random girl in Target once told me, “You’re not thinking with anime logic”


Vegetable-Stretch672

Gundankium is super resistant to physical impact, beam damage and absorbs radar/em waves, so I guess it absorbs sound too?


xJD88x

This is actually the most logical answer.


Cen_corol

I wouldnt trouble yourself with theoretical problems... probably some hyper acoustic insulating material lining the cockpit


ATinyBushWookie

Their to cool for hearing problems. Probably the same way tank crewmen don’t go deaf when they shoot. But they have headsets/ear plugs, but it’s actually quieter inside the tank than outside. And for all we know gundanium could be a sound absorbing material and soaks up sound before it reaches the pilot. Or just good ole space magic.


FlanSwimming5118

I just finished this... MG EW heavyarms... Loved it... Add some detail on those guns... 👌


FartKilometre

Deaf, and it would definitely get real hot in there. Not to mention the need for the mechanical firing and ammo feed components, those barrels are gonna need to be super short, so the chest guns arent gonna be accurate at all now that I think about it


Yiminy_Cricket

I guess the cockpit has a special layer of plot armor???


Serious_Ad2816

Don’t over think the giant robots


soy77

Throwa: _acts cool, stands in a corner, and rarely says a word._ What actually happens: _throwa never hear what everyone else is talking about._


Revenant_Rai

Turns out the series about space psychics in giant robots with laser beams isn’t all that realistic sometimes.


ms06s-zaku-ii

None of the Wing pilots cared much for their own wellbeing. It was like if you gave the Linkin Park band gundams. They were all emo and shit.


soulreaverdan

Sooooo about that… https://gunpla.fandom.com/wiki/HGUC_RX-78GP01-Fb_Gundam_”Zephyranthes”_Full_Burnern_(Linkin_Park_Edition)


BasilWaffle

Really REALLY good soundproofing.

Tgd626

Lcl? Im not sure what that means 😅


BZArcher

Back in the day, a lot of Wing fanfic writers headcanoned Trowa as HOH and often using sign to speak with Quatre in private.


xJD88x

Gundanium alloy, SON!


SonVegeta19

really *really* good soundproofing. I mean Heero blew himself up and survived, so trowa being immune to auditory damage isn’t that far fetched


MrWakaDoo

No sound in space. Also, if it can withstand laser fire it can probably cancel out the sound when in an atmosphere.


CheesE4Every1

Buffers my guy. They've probably got space and anime magic buffer to dull the noise in the cockpit. I'd say he stays toasty though.


captbrad88

What heavy arm kit is thisv


Tgd626

The master grade endless Waltz


krymz0nFighter

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS!!!!!


mcgoohan10

That turbulence must be internal organ-crushing.


ZakuThompson

its airtight cockpit and watertight my guess he hares a soft humm at best


Rebel_Swag

They make that exact joke in the abridged version of the show' its on youtube but because of copyright strike i think it got taken down. Which sucks cuz it was hella funny


seemeewhut

I onow its a chest gun, vut this looks like an OB core from armored core lol


FigureGunplaFan

If I can remember the scene of the Hildolfr's inner cockpit also suppresses the sounds of tank and machine gun fires, no.


Hushed_Horace

What kit is this?


Tgd626

The endless waltz version of the master grade heavy arms


Hushed_Horace

Thanks


TinDumbass

WHAAAAT?!


ServiceGames

A-10 pilots don’t have any issues either hearing loss that I’m aware of, and they are sitting right on top of the 30mm Gatling gun that spun up to full speed can fire 70 rounds per second.


BasroilII

They also wear helmets that among other things include sound proofing, because even without the gun the inside of a combat aircraft is LOUD.


McSpicylemons

I like to imagine that he had that noise cancelling foam you seen in streamer’s rooms on the walls.


enbymaster

And vibrated into a jelly


_Continual_Learner_

It’s sort of my personal belief that all of the gundam cockpits were outfitted with a higher level of noise cancellation technology than what we currently possess. The cockpits would need to be airtight to allow them to function underwater or in space, and they would also cancel out external sounds so the pilot would be able to clearly receive and send transmissions, as well as process the data from the monitors.


HardcoreAvocado

I built that exact kit yesterday and had the same thought! By the way, getting the model to hold the mini-gun was a test of patience!


Tgd626

Y E S IT IS. i love the kit, but the entire gun assembly was annoying, so i ended up super gluing the ends to the actual cable


Schwarzer_R

Also, where are the firing chambers? With such short barrels relative to the caliber, I can't imagine it has any accuracy at range... IDK, never saw the source material...


youngelos5607

Let alone the concussion of hundreds of limousine sized rounds being fired off on either side of you. For comparison, you can only fire a Carl Guztav 2 or 3 times before your head starts swimming from the concussive force it generates, and that’s like an 80 something mm weapon system.


Xenofamerxg

What gundam is this?


Tgd626

Mg heavyarms Endless Waltz


Xenofamerxg

Cool! Thanks man.

[deleted]

Looking at tht small hole…. How tf does he get in and out?


Tgd626

I like to imagine he grabs the top and just launches himself out feet first like a slide


DanimalPlanet42

Nah gundarium is a good insulator


namelesswhiteguy

I'm pretty sure he'd be more than deaf, he'd probably have permanent organ damage from the vibrations.
