During Operation Intrude N313, Machinegun Kid encountered Solid Snake in Outer Heaven, while guarding the corridors of Building 1, and was determined to not let Snake pass through.[2] Despite his impressive skills with his machine gun, Snake was able to use the room's large walls and fixtures as cover from his fire, and ultimately killed him.
