Peace Walker weapons and equipment

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker features weapons not only from the Vietnam War and Cold War at that time but new, bizarre and advanced weapons and equipment, although some of the latter ones are available only via Co-op. Militares Sans Frontieres needs such superior firepower as it continues on the path to becoming an independent military superpower in itself while facing opposition from armed nations across the world. The following is a list of weapons and equipment in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Please note this list is incomplete and currently only reflects most of the weapons featured in the Japanease import version. One significant feature to acknowledge is MSF's ability to conduct Research & Development (R&D) which improves the abilities of weapons and equipment.

Uniforms
Peace Walker offers numerous uniforms suited for different tasks.

In the demo, A particular uniform for Big Boss must be selected with a fixed configuration of weapons and equipment prior to a mission and depending on their requirements. In the retail game, you are free to equip anything on using any uniform.

SPECIAL UNIFORMS


 * Sneaking Suit : A very high camo index makes this special suit ideal for infiltration in many environments and during movement. However, its capacity to carry weapons is limited, but speeds LIFE recovery. Very similar to the one Snake used in Portable Ops. For true stealth soldiers. (Tip: Usually a soldier will notice you when you run up to them, but the sneaking suit cancels ALL sounds, therefore enabling you to run up to them.)

 * SWAMP=B


 * TREE=B


 * DIRT=B


 * ROCK=B

An armored version of the Sneaking Suit from Operation: Snake Eater. Provides lower camo index, ideal for a mix of combat and solo sneaking (Tip: This suit helps you for boss fights, as this armored suit reduces the amount of damage the enemy inflicts. You also get one extra spot for your main weapons.)

Weapons
The benefit of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the ability to use non-lethal weapons as killing enemies is discouraged; however, lethal weapons used by enemy forces are inevitably available as a majority and are best used on non-living targets or obstacles. Note that many weapons are unavailable to the player in the demo version. To develop weapons, one usually needs to have the proper research and development level, but also to acquire the proper secret documents with schematics to build the specific weapon and upgrade. This section needs much needed work...

HAND-TO-HAND A non-lethal melee weapon producing a large 1.5 million volts capable of overloading the enemy's central nervous system on contact and likely knock them out without dealing lethal damage to them thanks to low electrical current.

 * Mac 10 (Bullet Jacket) -

A compact Czech sub-machine gun used as a personal side arm with good mobility. This weapon provides the benefit of acceptable fully automatic firepower albeit the lower 20 round magazine but lower recoil due to the smaller calibre compared to other sub-machine guns.

This weapon was also used by police units but also saw wider use in World War II. Requires both hands to use adding the grip that increases accuracy.

SNIPER RIFLES

A bolt-action rifle produced in the range of millions in response to both World Wars where it was heavily used by Russians. Its scope features thick posts making it ideal for targeting victims in very dim environments.
 * Mosin Nagant
 * Ammunition: Large anesthetic

When the US Army introduced the M1 Garand as a mass produced standard arm in World War II, its most prominent feature was its semi-automatic rate of fire. Semi-automatic rifles were often becoming more superior to the slower bolt-action rifles in intense battles. After a major design to help it prove itself as a reliable and powerful weapon it became one of the most widely known weapons in WWII. As a result, the M1C sniper adaptation was approved for service with the attached scope as the most significant feature as a distinguishing feature.

Its scope not only features a viewfinder like the real PSO-1 scope it is based on but is also capable of providing greater magnification but greater sway. This accurate weapon is ideal for precise shots due to its ability to take out enemies with a single head shot regardless of headgear.

 * Ammunition: 7.62x54mmR


 * SVD night vision: A SVD with a night vision scope.

Prototype semi-automatic bullpup sniper rifle developed in West Germany, and produced for police use albeit limited production due to its high production costs. Uses armor piercing rounds that can pierce even the thickest plating. Hard to handle but extremely accurate.

Attachments
Since this game is developed after Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, weapon attachments now offer the same great significance and flexibility on the battlefield. With the exception of scopes there is a lack optical attachments for small arms as direct combat is mostly done in over-the-shoulder view.


 * Grenade Launcher: This underslung weapon ejects a 40mm projectile along a parabolic trajectory where it will explode on impact after reaching a sufficient distance. Ideal for attacking targets behind cover or when the target is not in the line of fire of bullets.
