The Science of MGS3's "EZ-gun"

[@itsgregoire7175]

you can also get it on other difs buy eating everything including extreme. this +stealth camo on extreme makes it easier than very easy

[@atomikcosmonaut522]

Oooh, good to know!

[@emperorhadrian6011]

Was gonna say I don't remember playing on easy.

[@mmaldonadoofficial]

U catch every animal and grab every plant. No need to eat anything. So basically you can keep the Tsuchinoko and still unlock the Infinite Ammo face paint AND unlock the EZ Gun in one playthrough.

[@dirtypms]

The Liberator, a .45 acp round pistol, served as inspiration for the EZ gun

Which never had any kind of suppression what so ever so why am I watching this video 😑

[@OperatorMax1993]

Metal Gear always seems to impress or blow people's minds years after their releases This SP4 cartridge is 7.62x42, so I imagine it being on the same levels of 7.63 Mauser and 7.62 Tokarev Even though this "silent ammo" is based on that. The EZ gun's design is also based on the Liberator pistol from ww2, which was used by French resistance fighters (atleast as a concealable tool to take down guards before stealing their equipment)

[@RoninFoxSpeaks]

Hey man cool to see you here too! The SP4 is a super anemic round due to its low muzzle velocity, velocity just counts for nearly everything when it comes to energy, its why .223 works; The SP4 is almost half as powerful as a 7.62 Tokarev, its most comparable to a .380 in terms of energy; at least the liberator was built to shoot a single .45

[@OperatorMax1993]

​​@@RoninFoxSpeaksame here! Oops forgot to respond lol! And oh yeah, the cartridge power is a big thing (like in Door Kickers 2 between the Ruger mk4 and MK24 SOCOM), what matters is shot placement and accuracy but that's why there's better choices, look at the first James Bond movie "Dr No" where Q takes away Bond's 25 ACP Beretta 418 ("nice and light...for a lady's handbag...no stopping power") replacing it with the 32 ACP / 7.65 Walther PPK ("with the delivery of a brick through a glass window")

[@manicdemise2539]

Hello sir, I was wondering if the forward driven piston in the special ammunition mitigates any amount of recoil ?

[@dark2023-1lovesoni]

​​​@@manicdemise2539not significantly, no. Recoil is primarily generated by the "equal and opposite reaction" of propelling the bullet itself (Newton's 3rd Law). That's why blanks have nearly no noticeable recoil, because there is no projectile. That's also why bullets can't knock people over in real life. They can only impart as much force as the recoil from firing them does. It's just focused on a much smaller point at the tip of the bullet, as opposed to the larger and wider grip/stock seen on most guns. Unless you have an object of similar/greater weight moving forward, it won't reduce recoil by any noticeable amount. Most recoil reducing systems that use similar principles have large parts and/or extra weights attached to that system to make up for the individual projectile's total weight. In these weapons the "piston" is tiny and very light, it's only really meant to seal the casings mouth (it's usually just a slightly tapered aluminum or occasionally steel plug). The piston is MUCH shorter and lighter than the bullet. It MIGHT technically reduce recoil by a tiny percentage, but these aren't particularly powerful guns anyway.

[@kabob0077]

Also designed and produced by America to arm said resistance with a cheap, disposable weapon system. The whole idea behind the Liberator is giving the French as MANY guns as they can that they can hide practically anywhere on their person so they can kill Germans to take the now dead German's gun.

[@Joaosantos22114]

The part about the tunnel rats is a bit wrong albeit understandable. The main reason for the piston ammunition design was to reduce the amount of muzzle flash and noise as it could hinder the soldier deep inside the dark and narrow tunnels, hence why you get to see some pictures of tunnel rats opting for the model 10 Smith & Wesson (the same could be witnessed in the Nagant M1895 with its "gas-seal" ammunition, albeit it was made with a different purpose in mind).

[@dark2023-1lovesoni]

I've DEFINITELY seen another revolver that fires from the "6 o'clock" position or bottom chamber of the cylinder. I own a Chiappa Rhino 30ds. I bought it specifically because I love Emilio Ghisoni's pistols and I couldn't easily find/afford a Mateba 6 Unica at the time. I've fired it PLENTY. It definitely DOES reduce felt recoil and barrel flip/twist due to the low bore axis. It makes .357s feel like .38 and it makes .38SPCs feel like a light .32 auto. Highly recommend it as a range gun. Not sure if I'd trust the "swiss-watch" internals for actual carry or defensive use though. I'm honestly afraid to fully disassemble the thing.

[@bencampbell5468]

Interesting stuff. However I'm fairly sure the experiments with supressed revolvers for the Tunnel Rats wasn't so much for stealth, as much as because firing a revolver in a cramped tunnel would immediately rupture the users eardrums and do pretty serious hearing damage.

[@luichinplaystation610]

If only MGSV got the same care.....

[@Peter_1986]

The EZ Gun is basically a result of the developers going "just cram everything that is awesome into one single weapon".

[@CyranofromBergerac]

You might also know the PSS from MGS4 where you can get one in chapter 3.

[@Jolis_Parsec]

The Mk. 23 looks like the Fallout 3 10mm Pistol, which makes me wonder if Toddy Boy had fond memories of this weapon from playing Metal Gear in his spare time and decided to base the most common firearm in the Capitol Wasteland on it.

[@cigoLxeL]

Not at all. The Mk. 23 is a S&W 39 with tall sights to reach about the suppressor. The 10mm from 3 looks like a mocked--up Desert Eagle. Compare both on imfdb.

[@ChainikVlad]

@@cigoLxeL You are talking about Hush Puppy (Mk. 22 Mod 0), but Mk. 23 is SOCOM though. But yea - 10mm was clearly more inspired by D.Eagle.

[@TheMasterGamer64]

The fact you caught this blows my mind

[@QuickQuips]

I'm surprised there isn't a speedrunner category with this guy AFAIK.

[@trentmorrison6074]

So the russian actually made new versions of the pss pistol with a bottom rail and a SP16 round. Only real difference between sp16 and sp4 is sp16 has a thicker ass allowing gor more gun powder in whats problably the same round meaning it goes faster. It most likely is still just as quiet. And I think the pss2 has a bottom rail for that fancy stuff.

[@deadspace4755]

Excellent analysis! l think it is better designed when you have videos showing examples, you should also include the video links(if possible) like a references section in thesis. Of course, all could be annoying to type so you decide in the end.

[@Meme_Lor]

As someone who sucks at games the EZ Gun allowed me to enjoy this game while still appreciating the story and gameplay

[@Darth_Carlino]

I remember using that on the 3DS port of the game for my first run expecting more hell simply because of it being on the 3DS, turns out it’s not needed

[@slycooper1001]

I remember using screenshots of animal crossing new leaf as camo it was extremely eye searing but it gave me 100 camo rating in a damp urban enviroment imagine bright neon green and the most vibrant blue you can think of against concrete and metal surfaces if you were a enemy soldier you would freaking see me but for some weird reason it made me freaking invisible

[@slycooper1001]

also neat thing is you can use new leaf to create camo patterns and then plaster it either on the floor or the walls in new leaf and just take screenshots and turn around and use 'em in mgs3ds as ultimate all terrain camo patterns

[@dasmeme1487]

Other revolvers that fire from the 6 O'Clock position are the Chiappa Rhino. But more obscure is the Mateba Model 6 Unica, which made an appearance on Ghost In The Shell.

[@Gherkins]

the unica def is not obscure if you've been one of the people on battlebit and battlefields

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

​@@Gherkins Heh

[@yapflipthegrunt4687]

Isn't the rhino a Unica clone?

[@Mr.deacle]

The 6 Unica appears in some Ghost in the Shell media, but in the 1995 movie Togusa's revolver is much more closely based on a Mateba 2006M (very different gun, not an auto revolver).

[@Mr.deacle]

@@yapflipthegrunt4687 Not even slightly, no. All they really have in common is the 6 O'Clock barrel. 6 Unica is a recoil-actuated auto revolver, like a Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver. Chiappa Rhino is a fairly traditional revolver in principle, though notably it's "hammer" is actually just a cocking lever for a concealed hammer deep inside the gun.

[@Crimsontalor]

i'm always for metal gear praise on attention to detail.

The Chiappa Rhino also shoots from the bottom cilynder.

[@st.haborym]

Don't forget it also has a laser sight for easy aiming.

[@trentnuno601]

The mateba 6 unica shoots from the bottom cylinder

[@J0hnT0m0rr0w]

Olga's gun isn't a PSS. It's a Makarov. You can see it clearly during her radio call with Gurlukovic. However, the PSS was in MGS4. You can find it at the start of the game in an apartment building locker, just before you reach the hotel where you meet Meryl.

[@aresquinn8452]

The ez gun is a great tool for getting a non lethal or no detection run. Basically the only reason to use it.

[@johnharvey3069]

I believe the PSS was also in MGS4

[@sepelchurparadise4785]

Ez gun + The Fear's camo. Makes no sense but it sure is funny.

[@theodorebear6714]

Does it just cycle by blowback like the makarov 9×18??? That's ingenious but also over engineered.

[@RoninFoxSpeaks]

Technically it's recoil operated since the gases are totally sealed, but hell yeah this is totally over engineered; when I first learned about this I knew I had to talk about it

[@IAmBushid0]

How do you even get this weapon?

[@RoninFoxSpeaks]

Either play on very easy or collect every plant and animal in the game

[@Peter_1986]

@@RoninFoxSpeaks A lot of the plants and animals during Virtuous Mission become much easier to collect if you run and get the Thermal Goggles inside the log in that big open grassy area that slopes downhill; this makes it very easy to capture those birds in the grass that always fly away.
