Samus Aran's Arm Cannon is her primary weapon, capable of both energy-based and ballistic attacks. The arm cannon, as its name implies, is affixed to the Power Suit's right forearm. What separates the arm cannon from other firearms is its ability to access various weapons systems by quickly changing its configuration, thus eliminating the need for multiple (and sometimes bulky) guns.
Though Samus's arm cannon is presumably of Chozo design, other species have Arm Cannons that can perform nearly identical functions. In the earliest years of the Federation, the Chozo built Samus Aran's arm cannon had the ability to change into a desired weapon. Soon, other Races began creating modular weapons like these.
Analysis[]
The arm cannon is shown to have many other functions, such as uplinking with computers or other systems, welding, melee combat, and controlling Samus's Gunship.
LM (Original) Analysis[]
The arm cannon continued to be used as the standard weapon for Samus and has been used to uplink with terminals throughout X-nel XI to open doors and activate systems. This version of the arm cannon is designed after the Metroid Prime (series).
