	Following the success of the high-performance (but equally costly) RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom, the Earth Federation Forces commissioned a new sniper-use GM to be built during the last weeks of the One Year War. Due to the tight one-month deadline for designing and first rollout, only a handful of the new RGM-79SP GM Sniper II would be seen in the last few days of the war, some assigned aboard the assault carrier Gray Phantom (both of which were destroyed during a battle inside the Side 6 Libot Colony) and the White Dingo team in Australia. The GM Sniper II was based on the in-development RGM-79G GM Commando, and was the most powerful GM variant built during the war. Featuring special targeting sensors in a "face guard" visor for its standard sensors, the GM Sniper II could be equipped with a beam rifle or 90 mm machinegun for close-quarters combat, or a long-range, projectile-firing rifle for sniper missions. The White Dingo team saw great success with three of these units in their assault on Zeon's Torrington HLV base, taking out not only ace Zeon pilot Vish Donahue in his Gelgoog Ground Type, but also the mobile Armor Rhinocerous and successfully stopping two of the three HLVs from escaping, and securing the facility for the Federal Forces.
