Well, you gotta remember, they werent out to destroy CB. They went out to steal a Gundam. Any heavy weapons might destroy the Gundam, and the HRL couldnt risk that, since they put so many resources into the operation. The thought was, if they could at least capture just one without damaging it, they could reverse engineer it, so they'ed make back all their money there.
