M1911A1

The 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, polished slide flats, perfectly meshed slide to frame, beveled magazine well, raised mag release, a skeleton (referred to as a "ring") hammer, removed grip safety, 3 dot combat sights with 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 his CQC knife. It can also be fitted with a suppressor. (The version of gun he was looking at was specially modified.)

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 slide locking mechanism to eliminate the sound of the weapon cycling after each fired round.

Skorpion SA Vz 61

The 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.

Colt Single Action Army

Major Ocelot's signature weapons are three Colt Single Action Armys. 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.

XM16E1

The XM16E1 in the game 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 been 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 CQC 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.
