M37 ======= Description: An American-made shotgun. The stock and barrel have been sawed off to reduce the weight. Carries four 12-gauge shells. Virtuous Mission location: Rassvet, south of the only stairs in the area, next to the crates. Operation Snake Eater location: Peschera Cave, follow the right path, it's in the area after the first tunnel. Weight: 2.9kg Fairly heavy, to conserve stamina this should be left in Snake's backpack when not being used. Reload speed: Approximately 4 seconds Ammo capacities; Very Easy and Easy: 41 rounds Normal: 21 rounds Hard and Extreme: 13 rounds Close range shots: This gun is ideal for close range shots. It will fire one round with each press of the square button and it must be cocked after each shot. This gun may not be accurate but it doesn't need to be; shooting any guard anywhere on their body will kill them in one shot and send them flying. It can also kill groups of enemies with one shot, providing they're close together. Distance shots: The guns weak point, using it at great distances should be avoided. The gun will do very little damage; it will take at least three shots to kill an enemy, that is if you can hit him. ========= 6. SVD ========= Description: A Soviet-made automatic sniper rifle known for it's high precision. Uses 7.62mm x 54 rimmed cartridges. Magazine size is 10 rounds. Press L1 button to use the scope. Press the Triangle button to change the magnification ratio in the scope. Virtuous Mission location: Dremuchij North, when you come across a path to your right, follow it to it's end to find this gun on the ground. Operation Snake Eater location: Ponizovje West, in the small weapons building at the top of the screen. A L: If you missed it at the above location, you can find it later at Sokrovenno South, in the small weapons building. Weight: 4.6kg The heaviest gun in the game, to conserve stamina this should be left in Snake's backpack when not being used. Reload speed: Approximately 3 seconds Ammo capacities; Very Easy and Easy: 101 rounds Normal: 51 rounds Hard and Extreme: 31 rounds ========== 7. XM16E1 ========== Description: A state of the art assault rifle currently being field-tested by the U.S. Army. Uses small caliber, high muzzle velocity 5.56 x 45 ammunition. Magazine size is 20 rounds. Open the window and press the Circle button to attach/detach a suppressor. Press the Triangle button to switch between semi- auto, full-auto, and 3-shot burst fire.Equip in first person view and press the L1 button to aim from the shoulder. Virtuous Mission location: Dolinovadno, cross the bridge, then follow the narrow path to your left which curves around and leads under the bridge. Operation Snake Eater location: Graniny Gorki Lab Exterior Inside Walls, the small weapons building North of where you enter from.

Reload speed: Approximately 1 second Ammo capacities; Very Easy and Easy: 201 rounds Normal: 151 rounds Hard and Extreme: 61 rounds Shoulder aiming: This will line the gun's site directly in front of you, making aiming much easier. Also this will slightly magnify your view. Full-auto fire: The rifle will fire continuously while you hold down the Square button. Unfortunately the recoil for this gun causes it to shake a lot making it inaccurate. Since the magazine only holds 20 rounds, you can only fire for two uninterrupted seconds. This guns ammo capacity is also very small, you can only hold enough ammo for a few magazines. All in all, I don't think this gun is very useful in full-auto fire mode. Semi-auto fire: In this mode the rifle will fire one shot with each press of the Square button. I find the gun most useful used in this mode. Since shoulder mounting slightly magnifies your view, it's fairly easy to go for head shots, and you won't have worry about your enemies distance providing you attach the suppressor. The gun will still have a large recoil, you simply have to adjust your aim after each shot. 3-shot burst fire: In this mode the rifle will fire three shots with each press of the Square button. The first bullet will naturallygo wherever you were aiming, the other 2 well, your guess is as good as mine thanks to the recoil. ========= 8. AK-47 ========= Description: A soviet made assault rifle, reliable durable and highly precise. Uses 7.62 x 39 ammunition. Magazine size is 30 rounds.

Unfortunately the recoil for this gun causes it to shake a lot making it inaccurate. Since the magazine only holds 30 rounds, you can only fire for three uninterrupted seconds. This guns ammo capacity is also very small, you can only hold enough ammo for a few magazines. All in all, I don't think this gun is very useful in full-auto fire mode. Semi-auto fire: In this mode the submachine gun will fire one shot with each press of the Square button. I find the gun most useful used in this mode. You can't aim precisely or shoulder mount this weapon, but the laser pointer more than makes up for it.
