The Gorgolauncher is an interesting and inventive design, being one of three ancient Blox-style Zoids. However, it lacks in overall power in this day and age. The most powerful weapon it possesses is the Burst Missile, but the thing is that you only get one. To give the Gorgolauncher a few more attempts at beating the opponent, AIZDAT scientists created this modification unit, the Stunner Missiles.
The single Burst Missile is replaced with a slightly bigger module loaded with four Electro-stun Missiles that are significantly smaller than the Burst Missile. Each of these Electro-Stun Missiles has a streamlined missile body with propellant and a sharpened armour-piercing tip, but the warhead has been replaced with a small but intensive generator system. The idea is that when the missile hits it will bury itself and apply a large electric shock to the Zoid, numbing the area it is buried in and reducing overall performance. Initial tests proved promising, with hits from only three of these enough to shut down the smaller Alpha class Zoids, though it requires quite a few more of these to take down a big Zoid like a Gojulas.
It takes a second to lock and fire a Stunner Missile, using IR tracking and visual locks, and another second to prep the next missile. Because of this, the Stunners are only useful against land targets, and you can get away with firing three in a round at the very tightest of margins.
