	To cope with the increase in anti-government movements, the Japanese government founds the Special Armed Garrison, more commonly known as "Kerberos". The Kerberos squad consists of highly trained, heavily armed soldiers who utilize special suits of armor known as "Protect Gear", and is tasked with quelling anti-government movements through lethal force. As the political scene shifts, the Japanese government orders the Kerberos squad to disband. They refuse to do so, resulting in a bloody confrontation between the Kerberos Units and the Tokyo Capital Police known as the "Kerberos Riot".

	''Stray Dog'' opens with the last moments of the Kerberos Riot, then skips ahead to three years after the incident. The film follows Inui (played by [[~~Yoshikatsu~~ Fujiki]]), a member of the Kerberos Squad who survived the Riot, who has recently been released from prison and leaves on parole to Taiwan. Acting on a tip, he searches for his former commander, Koichi Todome ([[Shigeru Chiba]]), whom Inui is told is forming a new Kerberos unit to return to Japan and instigate a rebellion. What Inui finds in Taiwan will ultimately decide whether he embraces his newfound freedom, or whether he continues to cling to his old ties and old life even at the risk of everything he holds dear.

	The standard weapon of Kerberos members using Protect Gear is the [[MG42]] machine gun. As the Protect Gear severely limits the movement of someone wearing it in exchange for added protection, the MG42 provides a source of devastating firepower to compensate for a lack of mobility. One of the MG42's biggest drawbacks is its ammo capacity (a 50 to 250 round belt) compared to its rate of fire (1200 rounds per minute). The Protect Gear provides an interesting solution; a Kerberos member simply unloads the weapon upon contact with an enemy, cutting their target to shreds, then retrieves a fresh belt which is dispensed from the Protect Gear's backpack. The backpack also holds a spare/alternate barrel. The film goes into great detail when showing the operation of the MG42, as Inui is seen taking full advantage of the MG42's quick-changing barrel and high rate of fire.

The Protect Gear suit also has a small ballistic shield on its left gauntlet, that in this film is shown to serve both as emergency face protection and a surface to help feed the loose MG42 ammunition belt.

	The standard weapon of Kerberos members using Protect Gear is the [[MG42]] machine gun. As the Protect Gear severely limits the movement of someone wearing it in exchange for added protection, the MG42 provides a source of devastating firepower to compensate for a lack of mobility. One of the MG42's biggest drawbacks is its ammo capacity (a 50 to 250 round belt) compared to its rate of fire (1200 rounds per minute). The Protect Gear provides an interesting solution; a Kerberos member simply unloads the weapon upon contact with an enemy, cutting their target to shreds, then retrieves a fresh belt which is dispensed from the Protect Gear's backpack. The backpack also holds a spare/alternate barrel. The film goes into great detail when showing the operation of the MG42, as Inui is seen taking full advantage of the MG42's quick-changing barrel and high rate of fire.
