================================================================================================
Overview:
    A retrofitted version of the MS-05 Zaku I, the MS-05L Zaku I Sniper Type's primary weapon
    was a beam sniper rifle, which was powered by a backpack-mounted sub-generator. Its head
    unit was fitted with the same type of composite monoeye as the MS-06E Zaku Reconnaissance
    Type, granting it the necessary sensor range for long-range sniping. It was also equipped
    with a pair of head-mounted Vulcan guns for defense. A foldable knee pad was installed in
    its right knee, which can deploy to stabilize the mobile suit during sniping missions.
    Essentially, the Zaku I Sniper Type was a self-propelled long-range mega particle cannon
    turret.
    Before Lavak invasion in February 0085 UC both Axis Zeon and Jupiter fleet possessed a small
    number of Zakus Sniper type - mostly for urban combat. Later newformed union re-established
    limited production of MS-05L for cheap long-range anti-dropship defence/precision fire
    support.

Capabilities:
    Main armament of Zaku I Sniper type is so-called SGW-80 Precision beam rifle, extremely good
    weapon for long-range high accuracy fire and powerful enough to tear apart armor of even
    heaviest dropships in the galaxy. For self-defence MS-05L is equipped with head-mounted twin
    30 mm vulcan gun and heat hawk. Additionally some Zaku Sniper pilots add to their machine's
    armament two MSHG self-propellant grenades and  single MMP-80 90 mm machine gun - however
    due to low free weight and space available ammo for this weapon is reduced from 7 to 4
    magazines.

Deployment:
    This tactical readout was based on events of Star Wars x Gundam UC crossover
    "Звездные Войны: Железная Воля (Star Wars: the Iron Will)", written
    by Апостол Зирайя.
