M37

The M37 Shotgun is a shotgun used by Naked Snake during the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater.

Overview
The M37 is an American-made shotgun. The stock and barrel have been sawed off to reduce the weight and can carry four 12-gauge shells. It is fairly heavy, weighing 2.9 kg (6.4 lbs) and takes about 4 seconds to reload.

The M37 is best for close range shots. One shot to a person will instantly kill them and send them flying through the air. The shotgun can also kill a group of people if they are close together.

Location
Snake obtains the M37 in Rassvet during the Virtuous Mission, though loses it once he is thrown into a river in Dolinovodno by The Boss. During Operation Snake Eater, Snake obtains the shotgun in Chyornaya Peschera Cave.
