About Metal Gear Solid V (2015) (source Wikipedia):
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (メタルギアソリッドV ファントムペイン) is a canonical installment in the Metal Gear series. Set in 1984, nine years after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, The Phantom Pain serves as a prequel to Metal Gear, which is set in 1995.
The Phantom Pain is the first Metal Gear game to fully use an open world gameplay structure and the main character is Venom Snake.
About Venom Snake (source Metal Gear Wikia):
Punished "Venom" Snake, also known as Big Boss, Ahab, V, or Big Boss' phantom, was a combat medic for Militaires Sans Frontières (MSF), who would later become the mercenary commander of Diamond Dogs and Outer Heaven as one of Big Boss' most trusted lieutenants.

Venom Snake’s disarm is legit but risky. He has the advantage of his gear and his bionic arm to pull this disarm. However, if us humans were to attempt this disarm, we risk getting cut badly. It’s safer to either run away, or if you must, do an x-block with the back of your hands. You’re still going to get cut, but at least you cut the back of your forearms instead of the front which is closer to your wrist.

Actually funny you mention the non biotic arm disarm. In the game, there is a cutscene where a child soldier (I forgot his name) tries to take down one of the diamond dog soldiers. When the kid goes in to attack him he attempts to disarm him using the back of his forearms which stops him from getting cut.

[@itssquark]

nah I just forgot about him. I actually have played the phantom pain and it's really good. In fact, I enjoyed the game and it's story so much that I have begun to prefer Venom Snake to Solid Snake and Big Boss. By Big Boss, I am referring to the protagonist of MGS3 also known as "Naked Snake". I am clarifying this seeing as you could confuse him with venom snake since they share a title. (I continue to talk about the story of the title, big boss, below. read if you want, but beware, it contains major spoilers for the events taken place in mgsv.) In MGSV, TPP, when big bosses phantom learns that he is not actually the original big boss and is merely a double, Big Boss tells him that the title "big boss" is not just one person but is actually a collective legend built by the two of them. Not just a single entity.
