BACKGROUND
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 insde 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 Command, 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.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE RGM-79SP GM SNIPER II:
- COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: The RGM-79SP is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. Data readouts and stats can be displayed either on the cockpit's HUD display or on the dashboard monitors of the aircraft. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 1,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 75 targets simultaneously.
- EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
- HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
- LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
- OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
- OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
- OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
- RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: The RGM-79G features a radio system that allows visual communication at close range through Minovsky Particles.
- STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All EFSF MS’s come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
- TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The RGM-79G's cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The EFSF flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot blacking out in combat.
- LEARNING COMPUTER: All RGM-79’s, RGC-80’s, and RGT-79’s are programmed with the data from the RX-78’s computer. This gives them an inherent +1 bonus to pilot checks
- SHIELD: The RGM-79 is equipped with an M-Sh-008/S-01025 heavy shield.
- ENHANCED SENSORS: The GM Sniper II is equipped with enhanced sensors in a retractable visor on its head. When deployed, they negate the penalties for the first four range increments but impose a -6 penalty on spot checks.
