Metal Gear Solid 4 weapons

There is a total 70 weapons in Metal Gear Solid 4, many of which have custom parts which can be purchased from Drebin or found in certain levels. This is the widest assortment of weapons usable in any of the Metal Gear Solid games, however all 70 arn't available in Metal Gear Online. The weapon descriptions are all from MGS4.

MK. 2 PISTOL
A 22-caliber automatic pistol often used in intelligence operations.The ruger is equiped with a built-in suppresor, and the bolt is locked in place while firing, making it almost completely silent. However, as a single shot weapon, it is unsuitable for rapid fire. Uses tranquilizer and emotion rounds. While non-lethal, it is a valuable tool for covert infiltration and no-kill completions.

OPERATOR
A 45-caliber pistol custom made for Snake's mission. Comes equipped with a laser sight an boasts enhanced stopping power. A flashlight can be attached to the rail system on the frame, and the muzzle can be fitted with a custom suppressor. Although somewhat difficult to fire in rapid succession, it posseses excellent close-range stopping power and impact force.

GSR
A 45-caliber combat pistol. Among the many 1911 clones, this one is distinguished by it's unique appearance. Most of the parts are machined, which improves the gun's overall performance and makes it highly durable. A rail is attached to the bottom of the frame, allowing the user to attach a tactical flashlight. Holds 8 rounds. While somewhat lacking in its rapid fire capability, its powerful rounds make up for this shortcoming.

FIVE SEVEN
An automatic pistol that uses 5.7 x 28 developed for the P90. Boasts one of the highest penetrating powers of any pistol. The bullets tend to maintain a high velocity, providing relatively high stopping power against distant enemies. Carries a large 20 round magazine and has low recoil, making it easy to use. Also used by Snake when he infiltrated Galuade. Its excellent penetrative power makes it a useful weapon against enemies with heavy armor.

PMM
A modernized version of the Makarov PM, the official sidearm ofthe soviet army. The frame and magazine have been newly designed, and the clip size has been expanded from 8 to 12 rounds. Additionally, the 9mm x 18 ammunition has been replaced by improved 9mm x 18 PMM rounds for higher muzle velocity. An easy to handle gun with relatively low recoil.

PSS
A silenced pistol that uses a special type of soundless ammo. The piston is located within the cartridge, trapping the firing gas inside. This makes the ammo virtually silent and eliminates the need for a suppressor. Although the PSS is amazingly quiet and easily concealed, it achieves its silence at the expense of performance, and the magazine size is a paltry 6 rounds. A handgun whose low noise makes it well suited to stealth missions.

G18c
A machine pistol capable of full auto fire at a blazing 1200 rounds per minute. Although equipped with a compensator to suppress muzzle jump, to claim that it is somewhat difficult to control in full auto would be an understatement. Uses 9mm x 19 ammo. Holds 33 rounds. Effective at taking down an enemy at point-blank range.

MK. 23
A large caliber combat pistol developed at the behest of U.S. Special Operations Command. The "MK" designation indicates that the development was a Navy initiative. It has the 45 caliber size and 'cock and lock' design favored by U.S. soldiers, and comes with a high performance laser aiming module and specially developed suppressor. Holds 12 rounds. Proved indespensable to Snake during his infiltraion of Shadow Moses in 2005. Maintains its high stopping power from medium range and has a slightly larger magazine capacity than other weapons of the same caliber.

RACE GUN
A race gun heavily modified for use in combat conditions. In order to maximize rapid fire performance, uses reduced charge ammo that provides just barely enough pressure to fire. Naturally, this also results in relatively low stopping power. Uses 9mm x 23 ammo. Holds 19 rounds. Easy to fire in rapid succession and deliver shots in a tight spread.

TYPE 17
An automatic pistol manufactured by a militia based in shanxi province, China. A copy of the C96 pistol, which was imported in large numbers into China in the early 20th century during a war against Japan. Capable of full-auto fire, but the recoil generated by its 45 caliber ammo, lack of tactical reload function, and small 10 round magazine mean that only experianced soldiers can make efective use of this capability. Its high impact rounds and rapid fire are enough to drop an enemy almost instantly.

D.E.
The worlds most powerful automatic pistol, firing 50-caliber rounds. Bullets have 3 times the initial energy of 45 caliber rounds, and the guns 26cm length and 2kg weight put it in a class of its own. Its gas pressure operating mechanism causes it to behave more like a rifle than a pistol. The standard barrel is 6 inches, but a 10 inch long barreled variation also exists. Holds 7 rounds. Has extremely strong recoil, but its sheer power is legendary.

D.E. (L.B.)
A variation on the Desert Eagle with an extended 10 inch barrel length. The longer barrel slightly increases muzzel velocity. It is also equipped with a scope enabling the gun to be used longer ranges. All other specs are identical to the 6 inch model. The 10 inch variation also carries over the strong recoil of its smaller brother, but maintains its power at longer ranges.

1911 CUSTOM
The legendary custom handgun used by Naked Snake during Operation Snake Eater in 1964. Even after 40 years, this gun is still in prime condition. Its parts work together with watch like precision, resulting in both unparalleled performance and remarkably facile handling. Uses 45 caliber ammo. Holds 7 rounds. Has an extremely high firing rate and high stopping power.

Takes its name from the ancient Norse god of thunder. Despite being a handgun, it can take down most enemies in a single shot and posseses long range.

SOLAR GUN
I had the strangest dream...

The world was enveloped in darkness. I looked all about me, but there was no light... I was floating through the sky. Dark clouds stretched out below me, and I could see no trace of land... But I heard voices. Voices wailing about in despair, screaming in fear. The cruel laughter of some unseen villain. And...  A voice... calling my name!

I covered my ears. All I could do was drift through the skies. What power did a tiny, insignificant creature like me have? But no matter how I tryed, I could not shut the voice out. Who was it? Why was he calling me? I'm just Sunny... Tiny, insignificant Sunny...

Then,Suddenly, I felt the light... A faint flicker emanating from my body. and the words came to me... I don't remember where I heard them -- or when -- but they were warm, and strong: "May the sun shine forever in our hearts!" And then it hit me. In this world, I was the sun! Upon realizing this, my body began to overflow with light. It was so bright that I closed my eyes... ...And then, I was back in my bed.

But I saw him. I know it. The moment I shielded my eyes against the light, I saw him -- the boy who was calling my name, standing on the earth. I saw his face, beaming brightly. And I saw the weapon he held up high -- the Solar Gun!

M10
A submachine gun model developed in the 1960s for use in covert operations.

A hand rifle, and the primary weapon The Boss used againts Snake when he was dispatched to assassinate her after her defection to the Soviet Union in 1964.
