Can anyone speculate as to why Snake has a prosthetic arm (which I think shouldn't be red) and a black "crystal" protruding out of his head?

Also, I'm guessing Snake killing all of those innocent Africans was one of the taboos Kojima was referring to; by the way, that scene didn't make a lot of sense either... but then again, it is MGS. I'm not sure Big Boss actually killed those kids. The camera angles do not suggest he was shooting at the kids, despite the edits. Trust me, if he were firing at the kids, he'd be moving left and right in a crowd-sweeping maneuver.
