- Siaber Crystal Power Generator - To compensate for the severe power requirements for the weapon, it was designed around a Siaber Crystal to provide plenty of energy for the containment field for the matter and the weapon's systems
- Extremely Powerful Stopping Power - Due to the nature of the weapon and what it fires, it has an extremely high stopping power against targets
- Long Range - Even more so than normal long range weaponry, the Gungnir has enhanced range to strike against targets
- Slow Reloads - Because of the density of the cores and the delicate process of reloading, it takes a long to reload once a core is depleted of matter
- Slow Tracking - Because of how slowly the weapon turns, due to its weight, it cannot target anything smaller than a cruiser
- Installation - Can only be installed on Destroyer-class ships and above, due to weight and power consumption needs even with the Siaber Crystal
- High Recoil - Even with recoil dampeners and mounts, the weapon has a high recoil
