A heavily-armed government military organization and the first line of national defense. All forces are controlled by a central Commander who answers
directly to the President. The organization employs many soldiers and special operatives, among them Rouge the Bat and Shadow the Hedgehog.
Most autonomous GUN robots are powered by Chaos Drives, but larger machines require one or more human pilots. Ground troops wear camouflage and carry
survival knives and basic guns. Official military vehicles include: jeeps, humvees, motorcycles, helicopters, at least one inordinately large big rig, and
bipedal combat walkers called Jump Vehicles and Cannon Vehicles. The GUN arsenal includes at least a dozen different types of firearms, including: pistols,
submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, heavy machine guns, Vulcan gatling guns, grenade launchers, bazookas, tank cannons, anti-tank missile launchers,
rocket launchers (4 and 8 shot), and optic laser rifles.

Hawk Series
ホークシリーズ

- Laser Hawk (レーザーホーク) -- Gun Hawks armed with rapid-fire laser rifles.
