I mean, even you have to admit that it's jarring to have entirely fictional weapons in MGSV when both the immediately preceding game (Peace Walker) and the immediate next game (MSX2 Metal Gear) both featured real-life weapons.

I never had much of a problem with Rising's lack of real life weaponry save for possibly Raiden's holstered SOCOM in the prologue, as the fictional weapons are implied to be newly developed weapons by that time of the game, so my reasons for being a bit irritated with MGSV's use of fictional weapons definitely has nothing to do with the fact that they were fictional in itself, but more the poor timing of it in terms of chronology.
