The GM-01 Scorpion (GM-01〈スコーピオン〉, Ji Emu Zero Wan Sukōpion) is one of Kamen Rider G3 and G3-X's personal weapons.
Overview[]
The GM-01 Scorpion is a modular semi-automatic pistol, with a telescopic tracker sight stored on the right hip or in the Guard Chaser's front left section, it is also compatible with the GG-02 Salamander under-barrel grenade launcher, and can attached to the GX-05 Kerberos to access the GX-Launcher. It has a capacity of 72 rounds and can shoot precisely with the electromagnetic rifling system.
Design[]
The GM-01 Scorpion has the following parts:[1]
- 01 Muzzle (01マズル, 01 Mazuru) - The muzzle. The electromagnetic rifling system enables high precision shooting despite its short barrel.
- CCD Target Scope (CCDターゲットスコープ, CCD Tāgetto Sukōpu) - The telescopic tracker sight. It sends the captured video to Kamen Rider G3/Kamen Rider G3-X's helmet and the G-Trailer. It can instantly measure the distance between the target and the gun.
- Standard Magazine (スタンダードマガジン, Sutandādo Magajin) - The horizontal magazine located within the rear silver part. 72 special rounds are loaded inside and are fired using special liquefied gas and electromagnetic force.
- Magnet Grip (マグネットグリップ, Magunetto Gurippu) - The grip. The gun adheres to the palm of Kamen Rider G3/Kamen Rider G3-X with an electromagnetic force, preventing it from falling off.
- Magazine Release Lever (マガジンリリースレバー, Magajin Rirīsu Rebā) - A special lever used to eject the magazine.

History[]
As G3, Makoto Hikawa first wielded the GM-01 Scorpion against the Jaguar Lord Pantheras Luteus. However, its firepower proved ineffective. He temporarily lost the weapon after being struck by the Lord before Agito's arrival. [The Warrior's Awakening]
In his second battle with the Jaguar Lords, Makoto combined the GM-01 with the GG-02 Salamander, which was able to land a hit on Pantheras Albus, leaving the Lord open to be destroyed by Agito's Rider Kick. G3 temporarily lost his gun when Agito attacked him for a brief period. [Blue Storm]
As part of repairs to the G3 System, the GM-01's cartridges were given a "power-up". Combined with GG-02 Salamander, it was used against the Tortoise Lord Testudo Terrestris, successfully destroying the "Unknown" albeit with a delayed reaction to the attack. [Puzzle Decoding]
Coming to Agito's assistance against the Snake Lord Anguis Femineus, G3, wielding the Scorpion-Salamander, landed two hits on the Unknown.
In his test as the new user of the G3 System, Toru Hojo used the GM-01 Scorpion to expertly neutralize a series of armed targets, achieving a 100% hit rate. Coming to the aid of a young boy who was attacked Octopus Lord Mollipes Octipes, G3's GM-01 proved effective against the Unknown before the GG-02 launcher was used to seemingly kill it as it was reduced to sludge. [The Two G3s] However, the Lord survived and soon enough reformed with immunity against G3, necessitating the power of Agito to finally destroy it. [Silver Points and Lines]
As G3, Hojo used the GM-01 against the Zebra Lord Equus Noctis but was soon forced to engage the Unknown hand-to-hand when the weapon was struck off his person. Soon after, Hikawa, arriving at the scene, used the gun to ward off Equus Dies who was attacking Agito. [The Past Tied Together] Though the act of wielding the GM-01 out of the G3 suit caused Hikawa to pass out with a sprained arm, it did lead to the police department reinstating him as the G3 System's user. [The Crash in the Lake!]
Coming to Mana Kazaya's aid as G3, Hikawa used the GM-01 against Leiurus Acutia. G3 followed this up by equipping the GS-03 Destroyer, switching the gun to his left hand, and successfully warding off the Unknown. [The Strongest Kick]
Defending Hojo and his capture team against Gills, G3 used the GM-01 to wound him into retreat. [Capture Tactics!]
G3 used the GM-01 against Hydrozoa Ignio but was soon overpowered by the Unknown's lightning strikes. [The New Boss]
In an attempt to assist Agito, G3 used the GM-01 and GS-03 against Gills but was ultimately defeated with Gills tearing apart his suit. Later, Hikawa, donning a virtual suit for the incomplete G3-X, wielded the GM-01 Scorpion against a simulated Tortoise Lord. [Fateful Showdown]
Engaging the Stingray Lord Potamotrigon Cucullus as G3-X, Shoichi Tsugami used the GM-01 against it before the gun was quickly struck from his grasp. Later, having returned as G3-X, Hikawa used the GM-01 against Potamotrigon Cassis. [Another Clash!]
Joining Agito's fight against Crustata Palleo, G3-X used the GM-01 but its firepower had little effect on the Unknown. [Hidden Power]
Assisting Gills, G3-X used the GM-01 to ward off Cetos Orcinus. [Summoning Souls to Meet]
As Agito fought Piscis Arapaima, Hikawa attached the GM-01 to form the GX Launcher, launching a missile that destroyed the Unknown as it was struck by Agito's mid-air kick. [A Numerical Mystery?!]
Confronting Scarabaeus Fortis, Hikawa found the Unknown resistant to both the GM-01 and the GX-05 Vulcan Mode before seemingly destroying it with the GX Launcher. However, it was later determined that it had survived. Hikawa later used the GG-02 toward the Unknown away from G3 Mild. [Kamen Rider Agito Special: A New Transformation]
Engaging a single Formica Pedes, Hikawa attempted to use the GM-01 only to have it struck from his person. Three months later, Hikawa used the GM-01 to take out numerous Ant Lords while fighting with Agito and Gills. When the G4 System attempted to act on its own accord following the death of Shiro Mizuki, Hikawa took it down with a single shot from the GM-01. [Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4]
Intercepting Stellio Sinistra as it pursued Koji Majima, G3-X struck it with the GM-01's gunfire and again when it attempted to pin him down. [The True Form…]
In his rematch against Stellio Sinistra, G3-X used the GM-01 to wear the Unknown down before terminating it with the GX-05. Later, the GM-01 was briefly taken from Hikawa, as G3-X, by Another Agito, who was able to somehow override its safety protection system, proceeding to use it to attack both G3-X and Agito. [Gills' Howl] After destroying a car that had been launched at him, he was disarmed by Exceed Gills. [United Front!]
Facing the revived El of the Water, G3-X formed the GX Launcher to launch a missile only for the El Lord to direct it to hit Gills. [Light and Darkness]
Temporarily assuming the G3-System, Takahiro Omuro used the GX-05 Vulcan Mode to ward off Agito, acting in defense of an Unknown. [Footsteps of Destruction]
During the final battle against the El Lords, Hikawa used the GX Launcher to strike El of the Wind with a missile, enabling Gills to slay the Unknown with his Exceed Heel Claw. [AGITΩ]
Zi-O[]
In 2019, the G3 Team all wield a GM-01. In tests, they used them to shoot down spherical projectiles. Soon after, they used them to defend themselves when they came under attack by Another Agito and its horde. [2001: Awaken, that Agito!] [2001: Unknown Memory]
