'''The following weapons were used in the video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:'''


== AK-47 ==
Most of the Enemies (both GRU and KGB) in the game use [[AK-47]]s. The [[AK-47]] can also be picked up by Naked Snake, it has both a semi-auto and full auto option that can be selected in the weapon window. The AK uses 30 round banana box magazines firing 7.62x39mm rounds.

== M1911A1 ==
The [[1911|M1911A1]] is Naked Snake's signature weapon in the game, he uses a standard issue [[1911]] before it is dismantled by The Boss. After this, Snake recieves a heavily customized [[1911]] from EVA that has several professionally done modifications including a polished feed ramp, tutone finish, perfectly meshed slide to frame, widened magazine well, raised mag release, a commander (referred to as a "ring") hammer, removed grip safety, 3 dot night sights, raised front sight, stepping on grip, front cocking serrations, extended thumb safety, and accuracy capable of hitting a 1-hole at 25 yards from a machine rest. Snake comments that this is the best gun he has ever used shortly before carving the grip to accommodate a survival knife. It can also be fitted with a suppressor. (The version of gun he was looking at was specially modified.)

== Ithaca M37 ==
The shotgun used in the game is an [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca M37]] with sawed off stock and barrel, it also holds four 12 gauge shells plus one in the chamber. It is also used by several members of the Ocelot Unit.

== Stoner 63 ==
The [[Stoner 63]] is also used in the game. It holds 101 rounds of 5.56x45mm(.223) ammunition in the belt and Snake can be heard yelling while firing it(a possible refference to Rambo). While this gun is an all pupose gun, able to be built into several different weapons systems, the game stuck with the LMG role.

== Mk22 Mod 0 "Hush Puppy" (Smith & Wesson 39) ==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 39]] handgun appears in the game upgraded as the MK22 Hush Puppy tranquilizer gun, a non-lethal subsitute to the [[M1911A1]]. It can be fitted with a suppressor. The hush-puppy is in fact a real gun firing 9mm rounds(9mm tranquilizers in the game) but the slide has a single shot locking mechanism to reduce the sound heard when firing and even if heard, it sounds nothing like gunfire while supressed.

== Mosin Nagant M91/30 ==
The [[Mosin Nagant]] is The End's signature sniper Rifle. It has been modifed  to fire tranquilzer darts in caliber 7.62x54R[immed], and can be obtained by the player if they beat The End non-lethally. It feattures a custom-fitted para-trooper folding stock probably stolen from an [[M1 Carbine|M1A1 Carbine]] rifle. It also feattures a 3.5X PU scope.

== Patriot ==
The Boss' signature weapon is the Patriot, a customized [[XM16E1]] using a Beta-C magazine with infinite ammunition (claimed to be from its shape resembling the infinity symbol). It can be earned by the player after beating the game on any difficulty. It is basically an XM16E1 with the barrel shortened and the stock removed, only featuring the housing rod holding the bolt spring; effectively it is an AR-15 pistol. This is an anachronistic firearm (to say nothing of the infinite ammunition), although various AR-15 pistols would eventually arise.

== RPG-7 ==
The [[RPG-7]] also makes an appearance in the game. It is obtained by the player and used several times by enemies.

== Skorpion SA Vz 61 ==
The [[Skorpion SA|Skorpion SA Vz 61]] sub machine gun can be obtained by the player as well. It holds 30 rounds of .32 ACP ammunition, has a laser dot sight, and has a semi auto and a full auto option in the weapons window. It is also by several enemies, most ntoably by enemies in vehicles such as motorcycles or flying platforms. It uses a closed bolt blow-back system(locks for a millisecond backwards before slamming back home) to reduce the immense rate of fire to a controllable 850 RPM.
[[Image:Skorpion-SA-VZ-61.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Skorpion SA Vz 61 - .32 ACP]]
== Colt Single Action Army ==
Major Ocelot's signature weapons are three [[Colt Single Action Army]]s. The player also gains a [[Colt Single Action Army]] after being tortured by Colonel Volgin, and can earn one while starting a new game if the final dual with Ocelot is done correctly. It holds six .45 Long colt rounds and fires single action only. To fire, the hammer must be cocked first, or the gun can be rapidly fanned from the hip. The guns advantage is that the bullet will commonly ricochet off walls and hit targets even if you miss. Some dramatic license is taken with this; in real life, at more severe angles and distances (especially after multiple ricochets), the bullets would hit with stinging, but nonlethal force.  Ocelot professionally spins two of them and also features a cavalry stock he fits on the the back to fire it like a carbine rifle.  As a sign of his ability (or likely, his brashness), he keeps all six chambers on both guns loaded, risking an unintended discharge should he drop one of his guns.  This was contrary to common practice, where shooters would load five rounds and leave the one under the hammer empty.

== SVD Dragunov Sniper Rifle ==
Another sniper rifle in the game in the [[SVD Dragunov]], it has two zoom options, and be seen being used by a member of the Ocelot Unit sometime in the beginning of the game. It fires the same round as the Mosin-Nagant, the 7.62x54R[immed] cartridge from a 10 round magazine.

== XM16E1 ==
The [[M16 rifle series#XM16E1 Rifle|XM16E1]] is a prototype of the [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] assault rifle. It has three firing options: semi-auto, three round burst, and full-auto, and can also be fitted with a suppressor. (Thanks to the zoom when aiming through the iron sights, it can act as a suppressed "sniping" rifle.) It fires 5.56x45mm rounds from a 20 round magazine. It has modified by a gunsmith with camouflage tape and paint making it more suitable for jungle combat.

== Makarov PM ==
The [[Makarov PM]] is the sidearm of every enemy in the game although it can never be obtained by the player. It is most notably used by Major Ocelot before being told by Naked Snake that his techiniques with the gun would be better suited for a revolver which causes him to switch to the [[Colt Single Action Army]]. According to Snake, Ocelot tends to twist his arm to absorb the recoil of the pistol, whereas a more stoic grip and stance would result in greater accuracy.  The Makarov fires 9x18mm makarov rounds from an 8 shot magazine. Ocelot spins it as he effortlessly disposes of several KGB soldiers. After trying what according to Snake is a Middle Eastern technique where you reflexively rack the slide to make sure there is a round in the chamber, despite it being loaded, Ocelot causes a stovepipe (feed failure) jam.  With the gun failing to go into battery, Snake ambushes him with his judo techniques and subdues him easily.

== Shansi Type 17 (Mauser C96) ==
The [[Mauser C96]] "Broomhandle" is EVA's signature weapon. She most notably uses it to shoot and kill several GRU soldiers sometime in the beginning of the game with a techinique known as a "Bandit Shooting". (A method of holding the gun sideways and using the recoil to created a horizontal sweep with the gun to clear a room.) The version of the weapon EVA uses is a semi-automatic, 10 shot .45 caliber Chinese copy made by the Shansi Factory in the 1930s. She loses it when Ocelot knocks it from her hands while in a motorcycle chase. On a second play through Sigint explains the "Bandit Shooting" Method and questions where EVA is from.

== AMD-63 ==
A Hungarian made assault rifle based off of the [[AK-47]]. It is used by the Ocelot Unit.
[[Image:AMD-65.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AMD-65 7.62x39mm (AMD-63 is the same weapon with a solid stock)]]
== M2 Flamethrower ==
American made flamethrower first used in WWII and ended use in Vietnam. Used by GRU soldiers in the mountains of Tselinoyarsk. Uses a mixture of napalm and gasoline and has about 10 seconds of use before running out. If shot with solid rounds(not tranqs.), the tank will blow up the user instantly into a ball of fire.
