RGM-79SP GM Sniper II



The RGM-79SP GM Sniper II is a variant of the mass production RGM-79 GM. It first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.

Combat Characteristics
The GM Sniper II is the Federation's attempt to build a less expensive variant of the RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom. As its name suggests, the GM Sniper II was built for long range sniping missions.

Sniper Rifle
A mobile suit sized version of the modern day sniper rifle. Has low ammunition and firing rate.

Long Range beam rifle
A larger version of the RX-78-2 Gundam beam rifle, this long range version is extremely powerful.

History
With a tight one month deadline to produce the new GM, very few of the GM Sniper II's would be produced. The GM Sniper II would make its combat debut with the Gray Phantom carrier stationed at Side 6, though both suits were destroyed by the MS-18E Kampfer of the Zeon's Cyclops Team. Three more GM Sniper II's would be used by the Australia based White Dingo Team and were painted in white and navy blue.
