Showa era
Gamera vs. Guiron
Gamera traveled to Terra, a parallel planet to Earth, to rescue the kidnapped Earth boys Akio and Tom from the planet's two surviving Terrans, Florbella and Barbella. As Gamera arrived, Florbella activated the missile launcher, which rose up from underneath a panel and fired a missile at Gamera as he flew over the Terran city. Although the missile struck its target and produced a tremendous explosion, Gamera emerged unscathed. The Terrans then called up their own monster, Guiron, to battle Gamera. Guiron overwhelmed Gamera but failed to kill him; nevertheless, Gamera was badly injured, and fell unconscious after his defeat. Later, Akio and Tom inadvertently turned Guiron loose on the Terrans as they searched for a way to escape. Guiron sliced the Terran UFO in half, fatally wounding Barbella. After Guiron defeated Gamera again, the boys temporarily trapped him in his underground enclosure, but he soon burst out. Tom hit his head on the switch for the missile launcher as rubble fell from the ceiling, causing the launcher to move into position. Gamera challenged Guiron for a third time, sticking the bladed monster into the ground head-first. Unable to escape, Guiron could only watch as the boys used the missile launcher to shoot two missiles. Both narrowly missed Guiron, with Gamera catching one and the other striking the building Florbella was inside, killing her. Gamera threw his missile straight into the aperture on the side of Guiron's head that contained his shurikens, lodging it in place. Gamera then used his fire breath to ignite the missile, detonating it and blowing Guiron into two pieces, killing him once and for all. With the battle now over, Gamera turned his focus to returning the boys back home.
Gamera Super Monster
Gamera fought Guiron on the planet where Zanon stored kaiju before unleashing them on Earth, killing him by catching one of the two missiles fired at the combatants, throwing it through his enemy's head, and detonating it with his flame breath.
Capabilities
Missiles
The Terran missile launcher is able to fire at least three missiles capable of causing large explosions. Though Gamera was unaffected by the missile launched at him, the missile he threw through Guiron's head blasted the space monster in two when he detonated it.
