With a single shot, Kirks pierced the MS's abdomen and attempted to detonate his generator from his backpack, but the Jestas managed to destroy Zaku's arms and rifle before he could fire. Despite being nearly twenty years old at the time, the machine proved to be highly effective, taking out multiple modern Federation units.Įventually, the Zaku I Sniper Type was cornered by Londo Bell's Tri-Stars team in their Jestas.

Using handheld beam weapon technology first developed for the MS-14 Gelgoog, the California base developed the Zaku I Sniper Type, using the obsolete MS-05 Zaku I, which were for most relegated to transportation and engineering.ĭuring the final days of the Year-Long War, the Zaku I Sniper Type used guerrilla tactics against the massive counterattack by Earth Federation forces, and helped slow the EFF advance.

However, as Zeon experimented with the concept of using Psycommu-type all-terrain weapons for long-range fire missions, nearly all support was cut after the loss of Odessa. After Garma Zabi's death, Zeon forces on Earth requested a more effective long-range weapon.

The Zaku I Sniper Type's right leg kneepad is unique, in that when the MS kneels in the firing position, the kneepad extends outward to stabilize the machine like a foot on a rifle. Although this problem can be solved by connecting it to an external cooling device. Due to a short development time, it has a long cooling time. It has an output of 700kW, rivaling the output of the machine itself.

Essentially, the Zaku I Sniper Type was a self-propelled long-range mega particle cannon turret.Ī large backpack-mounted sub-generator developed from technology used in the MS-14C Gelgoog Cannon.
