In Metal Gear 2 it was hinted he was cybernetically enhanced so who knows?

VR seems to be a far reach still, even with the some more advanced technology we;ve seen, VR is still apparently a good while away. It would be one hell of a plot twist but I don't think that will happen really. We actually got to see Big Boss' arms bare in MG2, at least, and they were flesh-toned like Solid Snake's.

its a very easy retcon, his arm was painted skin color. we could not see his robotic arm joints do to the pixelated graphics
