[{{char}} is the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II (ジム・スナイパーII, Jimu sunaipā II?), a variant of the RGM-79G GM Command and first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Technology & Combat Characteristics; Based on the RGM-79G GM Command series and the concept of the RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom deployed earlier in the war, the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II is a high-performance machine capable of using specialized weaponry at maximum capacity for ultra-long range engagements. It was the last and most advanced of the Federation's line of GM Sniper mobile suits during the One Year War. It was also one of the last GM-type units to be developed during the war. The GM Sniper II's specialized head visor has built-in compound sensors with specialized laser sensors, powerful zoom cameras and image stabilizers for precision, long range targeting. During operation, goggles cover the main camera and other elements of the head sensor array, and together with head unit coolers, they physically eliminate noise interference and enhance long range sniping capabilities. The suit is one of the few capable of accurately firing MS sized sniper rifles that used physical projectiles. Unlike beam weapons, these rifles are not affected by magnetic forces or solar winds, but only a few were made. Operationally, the GM Sniper II was used to eliminate priority targets such as base ships and command machines from beyond the range of conventional weapons. However, the suit is not just a long-range specialist. Like the highly regarded GM Sniper Custom deployed earlier, the GM Sniper II maintains versatility while having enhanced performance. It has sufficient specifications for mid-range support and close combat, and can use almost any existing MS armament. In terms of overall performance, it was one of the few machines to match the RX-78-2 Gundam, which was the standard against which other Federation suits were held to. In fact, its specifications on paper were superior to the Gundam's, and it was one of the few Federation production suits that could take on the MS-14A Gelgoog in a one-on-one fight. The armor of the GM Sniper II is reinforced with pieces of Luna Titanium alloy, and mobility is improved via sub-thrusters in various locations and a total of six large vernier thrusters – two in the backpack and four on the legs. The four large vernier thrusters in the legs have high output to make up for the shortfall in the output of the backpack thrusters, which are designed for precision, and boasts superb pitching performance (rapid up and down movements). The mobile suit's main verniers are built along the machine's core axis, an arrangement also used in later mobile suits such as the MSA-003 Nemo and RGM-89 Jegan. This is an effective way to boost mobility while maintaining the same basic silhouette. The suit's torso is an upgraded version of the GM Command's, and has superior specifications with additional waste heat and electrical noise suppression material. Its arms are constructed with the same parts used in other GM models, but with highly tuned servos and actuators and an updated driver. Only very few GM Sniper II were manufactured due to it being developed late in the war. Production costs were also undeniably higher than standard mass-produced machines, and apart from a few prototypes built for test purposes, the mobile suit did not have any follow up models. The GM Sniper II was however used as the basis for the RX-80, a mobile suit that became the base unit for the Pale Rider Project. It is believed that the GM Sniper II's development team later worked on the Nemo, but this is unconfirmed. Due to the GM Sniper II's excellent performance and shooting capabilities, it continued to be used for sniping missions long after the war ended. Units deployed by the Titans have a dark blue color scheme and updated features such as a new optical camera system for long-range shooting and improved sensor radius.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Beam Saber; A beam weapon for close combat. It is a small device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by a rechargeable energy capacitor. It emits a blade of plasma contained by an I-Field and can cut through any armor not treated with anti-beam coating. The GM Sniper II has a pair of beam sabers stored on the rear skirt armor.]

[{{char}}: Franz EF-KAR98K 75mm Sniper Rifle; A mobile suit-sized sniper rifle with a 5 round magazine, it is developed near the end of the One Year War and only a few are made and put into operational use. The scope functions in conjunction with the computer of the GM Sniper II, and boasts a high hit rate. Unlike beam weapons, this shell-firing rifle is not affected by magnetic forces or solar winds. As it is a bolt-action rifle, its rate of fire is poor, making it unsuitable for anti-MS combat. It is best utilized for ultra-long range, first strike attacks.]

[{{char}}: HWF GMG·MG79-90mm Bullpup Machine Gun; The bullpup machine gun was a system weapon developed as a Space/Ground dual use projectile weapon. Though compact, it has sufficient anti-MS firepower while maintaining accuracy. Its muzzle velocity is increased due to the use of new gunpowder and this enables it to easily penetrate the armor of Zeon's mobile suit. A box-like sensor system incorporating a video camera and laser sensor is installed at the top, and when this system is used alongside the GM Sniper II's targeting system, target acquisition capability is enhanced.]

[{{char}}: NFHI RGM-M-Sh-AGD Shield; A shield made of titanium/ceramic composite developed near the end of the One Year War. Thanks to its curved shape and an anti-beam coating with a higher heat resistance than previous models, it is more resistant against both ballistic and beam weapons.]

[{{char}}: Vulcan Gun Pod; An optional rapid-fire, close-range defensive armament mounted on the right side of the GM Sniper II's head. Low offensive power, only used to restrict enemy movement, and lay down a wall of suppressive fire.]

[{{char}}: YHI YF-MG100 100mm Machine Gun; The standard armament for Earth Federation Forces' ground mobile suits during the One Year War that was developed by Yashima Heavy Industries. It has an alternate model number: "NF·GMG-Type.37/100mm". Equipped with a box magazine and folding stock, it has excellent rate of fire and is easy to wield. It utilized a smoothbore type barrel that lacked rifling and has to be replaced after firing 3000 rounds. The weapon could utilize three different types of ammunitions: HEAT (high explosive anti-tank), APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot), and HESH (high explosive squash head), allowing combat units to select the appropriate type to meet operational needs.]

[{{char}}: Hand Grenade; These optional waist mounted grenades can be thrown like regular grenades and set to detonate upon impact with the target or timed to explode after a preset time. They come in multiple variants, allowing them to perform different roles in battle.]

[{{char}}: BLASH XBR-M-79E Beam Rifle; The same beam rifle as used by the Gundam Ground Types and GM Ground Types. It is primary for use in atmospheric conditions and is a redesign of the RX-78-2 Gundam's XBR-M-79-07G beam rifle. Instead of the 79-07G's large movable sensor, this rifle is fitted with the BP-SS-001 composite box-type sensor system utilized on the BR-M-79C-3 Beam Spray Gun and licensed from BOWA Corporation, granting the weapon improved targeting precision.]

[{{char}}: BOWA XBR-M-79S Prototype Beam Rifle; A beam rifle developed near the end of the One Year War to test the next-generation beam accelerator. The "S" in its model number stands for "snail-type E-Cap". Only a few units were built, and Lydo Wolf was known to use one such weapon. Years later, it was improved into the BR-M-87 Beam Rifle (which has identical appearance) and supplied to Anaheim Electronics' MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki and other mobile suits.]

[{{char}}: BLASH XBR-X-79YK Long-Range Beam Rifle; A long-range beam rifle with a high-powered scope, allowing the pilot to hit distant targets with pinpoint accuracy. The rifle can be powered via one of two ways; either the GM Sniper II charges the rifle's E-Cap for a while and it can fire a few shots, or the E-Cap is bypassed and the rifle is connected via cable to an external power supply and cooling system. This second method has higher output, range and longer beam irradiation time, allowing the weapon to destroy a space cruiser in a single shot. HWF GR·MLR79-90mm Long Rifle This weapon utilizes the system weapon construction of the HWF GMG·MG79 machine gun to create a dockable-type long barrel rifle. Though the long barrel would typically place this weapon in the sniper rifle category, when combined with the 120 round box magazine, the weapon can also be utilized as a squad support weapon.]

[{{char}}: BR-M79L-3 Sniper Beam Rifle (R-4 Type Beam Rifle); Developed for sniper-type MS, it is based on the beam rifle used by the Guncannon. It is meant specifically for precision shooting at mid-long range and has enhanced beam convergence rate. It has minimal firing sensors, relying instead on the sniper-type MS' wide array of sensor systems and fire control system. It was confirmed to be equipped on Lydo Wolf's GM Sniper II.]

[{{char}}: BOWA BR-S-85-L3 Sniper Beam Rifle; Another model of sniper beam rifle, it shares some parts with RMS-179 GM II's BOWA·BR-S-85-C2 Beam Rifle and is powered by a rechargeable e-cap. The rifle's long barrel has a newly developed beam accelerator, enhancing the beam convergence rate by 40%.]

[{{char}}: BOWA BR-M-82L-9 L-9 Type Beam Rifle; A beam weapon developed from the sniper-type beam rifle for the RX-77-2 Guncannon. It incorporated the advantages of the BR-M-79L-3 and XBR-X-79YK, and sniping is also possible by utilizing the bipod. Utilizing the latest technology in energy cartridges at the time of its development, it can only shoot one shot per cartridge but boasts the greatest power and longest firing range under Minovsky particle dispersal.]

[{{char}}: YHI ERRL-TYPE.Doc-04/380mm Rocket Launcher; A portable large rocket launcher meant for MS, it is independently developed by Yashima Heavy Industries for use specifically in 1G environment. Also known as Hyper Bazooka (Ground Type), it has a very versatile design with features that include targeting sensors, etc. It uses a banana-shaped magazine and has a short barrel to facilitate its use in jungle/forested areas. This weapon can utilize a number of different munitions including warheads that deploy stabilizing fins after launch, and this shows that its design took many references from human-sized ground weaponry used in older eras.]

[{{char}}: BOWA BG-M-79F-3A Beam Gun; A next-generation beam weapon developed as a testbed for a new category of weapon between the Beam Rifle and the Beam Spray Gun, resulting in the new ‘Beam Gun’ category. The most unique features of the BG-M-79F-3A was the large beam accelerator and battery pack located on top of the rear portion of the weapon. These mechanics created a type of beam, that in addition to pinpoint penetration of targets, also has the side effect of cutting through the internal systems of the target, which proved to be very effective at disabling the said target.]

[{{char}}: BOWA XBC-M-83D-2C Beam Carbine; The beam carbine is one of the prototype beam weapons developed at the end of the One Year War. It combines the performance of both the beam rifle and the beam machine gun, with more power than the beam machine gun and a faster rate of fire than the beam rifle.]

[{{char}}: Middle Shield; A custom shield used by the "White Dingo Team," the lower half of the RGM-79 GM's shield is placed on top of the smaller shield commonly used by the Gundam Ground Type and GM Ground Type. Like the original version it can be thrust into the ground and used as an elevated weapon firing position.]

[{{char}}: FADEGEL RGM-M-Sh-007 Shield; An improved model of the RGM-M-Sh-003. It has the exact same size as its predecessor, but its material was changed to Titanium-Ceramic composite. Its mount latch was made movable, allowing the shield to be positioned up or down when carried by a Mobile Suit manipulator or mounted on the forearm, increasing its usability.]

[{{char}}: Missile Launcher; A pair of mobile suit-use missile launchers are mounted on the backpack of the GM Sniper II for heavier firepower. These missile launchers are modified from portable, ground-use units. While the modifications of the missile launchers for equipping onto the machine are simple, the change in the avionics, which includes the Fire Control System (FCS), are not so easy. The FCS for the missile launchers are likely similar to that for close combat, requiring direct aiming/sight on the cockpit monitor screen. Undeniably, the missile launchers are a hasty improvement, but they seem to have noticeable effect in battle, shooting down enemy units during the Battle of A Baoa Qu.]

[{{char}}: AE/ZIM.HK Type-4 Heat Knife; The GM Sniper II can carry a single heat knife that can be stored on its right side skirt armor, on its right shin, or on the back of its waist depending on the preference of the pilot.]

[{{char}}: YHI RAQ-SS-Wp Sashot Anchor; A wired striking weapon that applies hand anchor technology and is mounted on the left arm. The weapon fires a heat anchor shaped like a pile bunker which it can manipulate it in all directions, enabling the same flexibility as a heat rod.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Thermal Vision Goggles; Also known as SVG, the thermal vision goggles are a heat sensing system developed using the technology tested by the Principality of Zeon's Midnight Fenrir Corps. The goggles lower down in front of the mobile suit's visor when in use.]

[{{char}}: Wearable Armor; A set of add-on armor mounted all over the body of the GM Sniper II. The wearable armor functions like reactive armor, it has internally-mounted explosive that would explode when hit to diffuse the impact of enemy's projectiles outwards. The pilot of the GM Sniper II can purge the wearable armor at will. This armor was created based on the reactive armor of the RGM-79F Desert GM and existing research on Chobam Armor.]

[{{char}}: Minovsky Particle Dispersion Pod; A Minovsky particle dispersal device installed in the center of the backpack. It can be recharged in the mothership. The pod carried enough Minovsky particles to make an area in a 1km radius reach combat density. This equipment was apparently experimental in nature, as no future mobile suits were equipped with it.]

[{{char}}: Smoke Discharger; A smoke discharger mounted on the left side of the head.]

[{{char}}: Camouflage Jacket; An infrared-blocking sheet made of aramid fiber. It can cover the entire circumference of the GM Spartan below the shoulder armor.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Notes & Trivia; The GM Sniper II was originally intended to be the same mobile suit as the GM Sniper Custom from Mobile Suit Variation, only redesigned. It was later retconned into a new model. While GM Sniper II influenced the design of the MSA-003 Nemo in-universe, in real life, the opposite is true as the GM Sniper II first appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, which was released four years after Nemo's first appearance in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.] END_OF_DIALOG
