Kiss of death

The kiss of death, also referred to as a lipstick pistol, is a concealed firearm disguised as a lipstick container that was often used by the KGB.

Usage
EVA/Tatyana often carried this around, as well as an identical lipstick container in case she wanted to bluff someone into spilling info. When Volgin first met Tatyana nearing the end of the Virtuous Mission, Volgin, noticing that she was holding something in her hand, forced her to confiscate it, and discovered that she had a Kiss of Death. Because of its usage within the KGB, it's discovery resulted in Ocelot immediately accusing Tatyana of being a KGB agent, although Volgin gave it back to her, as he saw some use with her. Later, she used her identical lipstick container to bluff Sokolov into revealing where the Legacy was. Tatyana, later revealed as EVA, later attempted to use it on Colonel Volgin upon her identity being compromised, only for him to snatch it away.

Behind the scenes
The kiss of death was based on a real life spy-weapon, of which at least one was confiscated at West Berlin.

Hideo Kojima planned to use several other real-life spy gadgets from the 1960s during the development of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. However, they ended up dropping all except for the Kiss of Death from the final version, as they were forced to abandon going to the International Spy Museum due to the Beltway Sniper Attacks that were happening at the time of his visit.
