Machinegun Kid

Machinegun Kid (マシンガン・キッド) was a member of the Outer Heaven mercenary force, and the second professional mercenary to face Solid Snake on his first mission.

Background
Machinegun Kid was a former member of the SAS, the special forces unit of the British Army. While in the SAS, Machinegun Kid was trained to wield assault rifles to the point of mastery, until he eventually gained a bit of notoriety for his skill, earning him his nickname. Eventually, he left the SAS and became a mercenary for hire. He was then contracted by the mercenary nation Outer Heaven, which he quickly joined and was appointed a high-ranking guard position due to his skill with an assault rifle.

During Operation Intrude N313, Machinegun Kid encountered Snake while guarding the corridors of Building 1 as well as the parachute. Despite his impressive skills with his assault rifle, Snake was able to out think Machinegun Kid, using the rooms large walls and fixtures as cover from his fire, and ultimately killed him.
