P.Bandai HG 1/144 RGM-79[G] GM Sniper

Premium Bandai announces the release of the GM Sniper from the Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. The kit shares some of its molds with the HGUC 1/144 GM Ground Type, provided with green color scheme. The kit of course comes with its signature weapon, Long-Range Beam Rifle.

The RGM-79[G] GM Sniper is a specialized variant of the GM Ground Type, first appearing in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. While it shares the same basic performance as the GM Ground Type, the GM Sniper features enhanced sensor accuracy and a modified operating system optimized for its long-range beam rifle. Its cooling equipment and power transmission system are also fine-tuned to support sustained sniping operations, complemented by a distinct color scheme.

During the One Year War, at least four GM Ground Types from the Kojima Battalion were converted into GM Snipers. These units played a crucial role in the destruction of Zeon's experimental mobile armor Apsaras III and the RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 piloted by Shiro Amada.

Included Armaments:
- Long-Range Beam Rifle
- Missile Launcher
- 100mm Machine Gun
- Beam Saber
- Shield (with movable bipod)
