Mosin-Nagant

The Mosin-Nagant (Russian: Винтовка Мосина, ISO 9: Vintovka Mosina) is a bolt-action service rifle used by the Red Army. The rifle was most notably used by The End as his primary weapon. The Mosin-Nagant that The End used fired Battle Rifle-sized tranquilizer rounds instead of the standard lethal 7.62x54mmR round the rifle used.

The Mosin-Nagant is a bolt-action rifle, and the first Russian small arm chambered for the 7.62x54mm Rimmed cartridge, that was first produced in Tsarist Russia in 1892. It was in mass service during the Russo-Japanese war in 1904, and later saw more action during both World Wars. While original models had no scope, it was first used as a sniper rifle during the Eastern Front of World War II; it kept this role until the 1960's, when it was finally replaced by the SVD.

Although The End could have easily used an SVD, he instead opted for a Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle, which illustrates his age and his apparent reluctance to kill. The End's rifle, apart from being chambered for tranquillizer rounds, also replaced the normal stock with a paratrooper's folding stock and a pistol grip. Naked Snake can wield the Mosin-Nagant by defeating The End by stamina depletion. It is a very useful weapon for no-kill runs.

In 2014, Old Snake obtained a Mosin-Nagant scoped rifle from Drebin and used it during his operations in the Middle East to terminate Liquid Ocelot. The rifle was still the same and acted as a tranquillizer weapon.

In Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden could obtain a similar weapon, the PSG-1 T, which is a PSG-1 variant fitted for tranquillizer darts. In Metal Gear Solid 3, it was effectively replaced by the Mosin-Nagant.

In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, the Mosin Nagant appears again as a tranquillizing sniper rifle, a long-range alternative to Snake's standard MK22 with 9mm T ammo despite not having a suppressor, no mobility and a slower rate of fire due to its bolt-action mechanism. It can be procured at the Warhead Storage Facility.it also has it in mgo metal gear online wich really helps you by making them go to sleep
