Running Core - Shooter Change Core Gamma

Shooter Change Core Gamma is a Running Core released as part of the Hard Metal System. It debuted with the release of Shining God MS.

Description
Shooter Change Core Gamma is one of the most unique RC's ever released. On a normal Beyblade, the WD is always placed just below the AR, and on top of the RC, but on Shooter Change Core Gamma, it is positioned on the bottom of the RC. Because of this, there is space between the AR and RC, and that space enables Upper Attack CWDs such as Phantom Fox MS's CWD Circle Attacker to be used in Upper Mode.
 * Weight: 6 grams

Along with this is the fact that the weight of a Beyblade using this RC will be more focused towards the stadium floor than on any other Beyblade. This can be advantageous to Defense oriented customizations as their main purpose is to be able to hold their ground while being attacked. However, with this advantage, comes a disadvantage; because the WD is so close to the ground, and the RC itself is not very tall, if it is knocked off balance, there is a high probability that it will begin to scrape the stadium and KO itself.

Shooter Change Core Gamma's gimmick is mode change. It has a mechanism inside of the RC that can be rotated to change the tip. Compared to Samurai Changer MS's Battle Change Core which essentially changes randomly during battle, Shooter Change Core Gamma will not. Its tip can become either sharp or flat depending on spin direction. In right-spin, the flat tip will be used, and in left-spin the sharp tip will be ejected. The flat tip is the width as Battle Change Core's flat tip and Dragoon MS UV's rubber tip.

The flat tip can be used effectively in Attack customizations, but because of the overall shape of the RC and the fact that it is plastic, Shooter Change Core Gamma will never see mainstream use among Attack-enthusiasts. As for its defensive capabilities, they are worth experimenting with, but its advantages and disadvantages must always be kept in mind.

Use in Defense Customization
Shooter Change Core Gamma, while it is most certainly an unorthodox choice for any type of customization, can be used in a Defense customization as long as it is in left-spin (sharp). This custom can be considered an upgrade to the same customization but using Shooter Change Core Alpha from Bloody Devil MS. Shooter Change Core Gamma's sharp tip in left-spin is more naturally fitted for Defense customizations.


 * AR: Samurai Upper (Samurai Changer MS)
 * WD: CWD Defense Ring (Sea Dragon)
 * RC: Shooter Change Core Gamma [sharp tip] (Shining God MS)

It is also worth considering the use of Circle Heavy in this custom as well, because its diameter is less than that of CWD Defense Ring, which could result in less self-KOs.
