Metal Gear Solid 3 equipment

This article is a list of equipment that appear in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Active Sonar
The active Sonar works much like the Sonar systems on a Submarine, it uses sound waves to detect enemy positions. The sound waves bounce off the enemy, and the sound data is converted into visual data. In terms of MGS3, it is not all that useful since the sound of the Sonar can give your position away, not to mention that it is a battery hog. It is recommended to use this at your own risk.

Anti-Personnel Sensor
The AP sensor uses hearbeats to detect enemy postions in relation to the user. The stronger the heartbeat the closer the enemy is, however it does not give the user an exact location so the user has to find out the exact position of the enemy manually. It is very useful when hiding from the enemy as it can tell you if someone is close by, however using the AP sensor in this manner is somewhat risky as you will not know the exact postion of the enemy.
