A long-range sniper variant of the RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type, the RGM-79[G] GM Sniper was not much different from the former except for being adjusted to use the BLASH XBR-X-79YK Long-Range Beam Rifle as its main weapon. It featured improved sensor accuracy and an updated operating system for using the long-range beam rifle. The mobile suit's cooling equipment and power transmission system were also tuned with usage of the long-range beam rifle in mind. To differentiate the GM Sniper from the regular GM Ground Type during mission, it was given a different olive green color scheme. Besides these changes, the rest of the GM Sniper's specifications were the same as those of the GM Ground Type, and it could also use the same weaponry as the latter.

At least four RGM-79[G] GM Ground Types of the Kojima Battalion were outfitted as GM Snipers and were instrumental in the destruction of the Principality of Zeon's experimental mobile armor Apsaras III and Shiro Amada's RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 during the One Year War.
