Recoil is reduced by using bipod. Electronic sight. Laser sight. Gryoscopic compensator. Shock absorbing stock.

The GS-7 was developed in response to a Marine and Army request for a quality, high caliber dedicated sniper rifle with extremely low recoil. A small quantity of these weapons were eventually purchased and sent to troops on Lagash for battlefield testing. They proved so effective, the Terran Republic Defense Ministry recently ordered a large quantity of GS-7s for distribution to sniper teams throughout the armed forces. A unique feature of this weapon is the special discarding sabot ammunition developed for it. DS rounds are generally not produced for gauss weapons because they are rather difficult to manufacture. The GS-7 is not currently available on the civilian market, though it has been reported that several them were recently sold at Barnard on the black market.
