Why are guns fired by EVAs the only somewhat effective firearms?

Because it required the entirety of Japan's power to be pumped into it to work

Because the Evangelions aren't there to defend the world from the Angels, they're there for SEELE's plans and their status as weapons is a side-benefit. But getting the military funding lets them appropriate resources for the crazy "merge everyone together into one super-being" plan, so they ruthlessly crush any other project for fighting the Angels. That's what happened with Jet Alone. In the case of your pic, that particle beam cannon was in fact originally designed for non-Evangelion use, but Misato pulled strings to have it transferred to NERV. They basically stole it, if I remember right they literally rip the roof off of the warehouse so that one of the Evas can grab it out of there.

A regular gun also killed the angel on pic related.
And still later on the angels still evaded fire shots sometimes when they were targeted.
If they didnt give a fuck they would just get hit.

>>146746957
how would you carry said guns efficiently?
a tank that big is not an option

They fire through the Eva's AT fields so that the combination of AT field and Bullet pierces through the Angel's AT fields and hits them directly. Pretty sure Ritsuko talks about this very early on.

Remember, that episode was animated by the Koreans. They gave Nadia the same treatment.

>>146749151
Its still Anno who told them what to do

>>146749194
Actually Shinji Higuchi was in charge of the Korean team.

>>146746957
because AT Fields and penetration and stuff

don't read into it too deep, it doesn't hold up to scrutiny

>>146746957
Well the weapon in the pic was made in less than a day.
I guess the Eva can be considered as a make-shift guidance computer system.

It's AT-Field was down so it can release its acid.
