Talk:Metal Gear Solid 4 weapons

From the Metal Gear Wiki

Should the masterkey really be considered a weapon? And if so, should it really make the weapons count 70? Because it's really only an attachment.--Bpudes77 07:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I would like to make this page similar to the List of Misc Weapons making all these as red links encourages ppl to state that the weapon is in the game (don't need an article for that) or create a wikipedia article on it's usage in the real world (What about the game).Ideas, suggestions?--Drawde83 20:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC) you forgot the FN SCAR-H used by the PMCs Maybe this will only be seen as throwing fuel onto an apparent fire, but since I do not own Metal Gear Solid 4, my intent is to include real-world information only. However, I do wonder if we can possibly combine this article and the weapon statistics article in some way, killing two birds with one stone so-to-speak.--Sgt Kelly 23:31, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Real world info is fine I think people just need to remember that this is a wiki about the Metal Gear Universe and not the real world. I get tired of articles that are are not very relevant to the metal gear games. I think it's better to keep the statistics page seperate to this one. This page is getting large (might be an idea to split it somehow.) BTW thanks for all the work you've put into this article it's been really helpful. --Drawde83 23:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! :-)--Sgt Kelly 13:24, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] can i ask if the rail gun in MGS4: Guns of Patriots?

can i ask if the rail gun in MGS4: Guns of Patriots uses ammunitions? I hope someone can answer my question. thanks. --- iri9

Yes, but the magazine holds a hell of a lot of rounds, so you don't have to reload very often. --Fantomas 10:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The M1911 Custom

How do you get it? I've looked on gamefaqs and they say that there's a way you can get it on the EXTRAS menu but they've yet to tell us the what the password is. I don't suppose you know what it is Fantomas?

So where'd you find that?

[edit] Solar Gun

This doesn't seem very relevant. I don't know where this poem comes from but in any case it doesn't say anything about what the weapon does, what ammunition it uses or it's location. Once I get it in the game I want to know how it's going to be useful to me --Drawde83 04:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

It's the actual explanation for the gun in-game, when you look it in the viewer. --Fantomas 12:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Locations and price

Are coming soon to the list of weapons(aswell as completing it) so this weapons page will be the best anywhere! Coliac 22:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Great to hear, how do you plan on listing the price? my understanding was that it changed depending on demand. So at the end of the game when all the ID-tagged weapons stop working, weapons become very cheap.

Weapons are 50% off at the end of the game and on wednesdays and sundays there 20% off, but I'm sure I'll find a way to get this info in

[edit] article breakup

I've been thinking it might be an idea to break this article into smaller articles. We could divide it up by the major sections. Another thing to consider is that it would be helpful to consolidate some of the information we have. RPG-7, SVD for instance have their own articles. So perhaps some of the larger sections could be turned into articles too.--Drawde83 19:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Drum Can

The Drum Can is a item/equip That is found in MGS4, But i don't see it in the equipment Section. also, could the drum can be classified as a weapon? Since it has the ability to roll over targets causing KO's (ALSO, kinda new at this, so sorry if it's wrongly placed/set up). 170.185.36.19

[edit] No VSS

Where do you get the VSS!? I have played through 8 times but The two guns I don't have yet are the solar gun and VSS. On my second playthrough on act 5 I bought every gun available in Drebin's shop but and No VSS. Can someone explain my situation?--74.132.74.158 22:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rail Gun

I think the following line should be corrected:

"Crying Wolf's rail gun, the same model as the one wielded by Dead Cell member Fortune during the Big Shell incident."

According to Metal Gear Solid 4: Database, Vamp gave Crying Wolf the same exact gun Fortune was using, not just the same model. The same exact gun is being used, which I think is worthy of mention. This means that Snake is carrying the same gun that was shot at him during the Manhattan Incident.

Yeah, we even mention it on Crying Wolf's page, in the Trivia section. Thanks for pointing this out. By the way, if you notice any other mistakes like this in future, feel free to change them yourself! --Fantomas 09:55, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
