Metal Gear RAY (manned)

Metal Gear Ray was the third Gear to be put into production, and the first to be mass-produced. Standing over 20 metres tall, the Gear could be controlled by a computer brain, or piloted from within the "head". The controls also act as a harness of sorts, pressuring the pilot into the seat to avoid being thrown around. Precariously balanced on a pair of stilt-like legs, Ray has no "feet" on which to support itself, making it relatively easy to knock over with a rocket, or similar projectile. Rays most prominent armament is the water cannon housed in the "jaw" area. Via a massive pump, water is sucked into an internal tank, then fired out of the mouth at speeds approaching supersonic, able to cut even through steel. Other weapons include a head-mounted machine gun and twin missile pods on either side of the body. Not designed to be able to fight and win wars alone, Ray was mass-produced and designed as defensive units for the much larger and heavily armed Arsenal gear, which lacked sufficient defensive capabilities to fight a defensive battle, such as an air raid. It's primary armaments were nuclear missiles, and as such, could not deploy them in a close-quarters battle.
