Gun Volt

Gun Volt (ガンボルト), also known as Gunbolt, is a combat Mechaniloid that appear as an enemy Maverick in the Mega Man X series. Gun Volts attack by sending sparks across the floor that travel over the terrain. They can also launch two missiles, both of which are best avoided by jumping. Gun Volts are highly durable, therefore using a Special Weapon that hit multiple times is the most efficient way of getting rid of one.
