Kojima's mentioned it before, but TGS is the first time we've seen weapon mods in MGS4.

This is the standard M4, unmodded, in action:

Here's the M4 with scope:

Here's the XM320 Grenade Launcher fitted to the bottom of the gun.

In action:

The M4 with shotgun:

In action:

More weapons

The mortar:

The M14 Tactical:

The SCARH:

The M60:

The Stinger missile launcher:

And last but not least, these aren't guns but they're too cool not to post. Nuclear-armed bipedal tanks

Metal Gear Rex

...and Metal Gear Ray

Thats not a PSG1 it looks like an M14 Tactical and did they realy call that an SMG because it looks like a SCARH so it's a 7.62 while what dosen't mean is CAN'T be an SMG it sure would be a big heavy one. Most people would call that an assault rifle and that M4 looks like an H&K416 but thats just being picky.

Thanks, I will change them. I was trying to figure out what some of them were, but it's kinda hard to tell and I'm no weapons expert. I thought the one gun was a PSG1 because it had a scope, and the PSG1 has been a staple throughout the series, but on second glance I think you're right.

Hell yeah, Rex > Ray.

Ray looks more feminine and Rex looks more masculine. Plus, Snake's driving Rex.

Freaking awesome.

Metal Gear Rex FTW!!!

I doubt the weapon modding will be as comprehensive as Crysis, but ist still great none the less.

Wasn't Ray designed as a 'Metal Gear killer' though? As in, uses superior mobility and close-range firepower to take out Rex variants? :P

I don't see the system being any different from Silencer attachments to some weapons. Though I do hope they add some more versatile accessories like the M4.

yeah MGS4 seems sort of a cross between 3rd person shooter, stealth and strategy.

Stealthy, like blending in with the battlefield, yea.

And you could beat the whole game with a knife and the tranq pistol, I did for MGS3 :P

It is a stealth game, but much like Hitman, you can beat the game by going all out guns blazing or playing it covert. Each has its advantages. The all out way means more gun fights and action and no need to meddle with sneaking a timing, but it also means that you are more likely to die from enemy fire while the stealth way means less combat and gunfights, but it takes more time and skill to avoid all the enemies.

Meh. If you ask me, gun modding is a big waste of time. The only time I liked it was in Ratchet Deadlocked since you could really see the effects of your modifications...poison missiles, lava mines, ice rifles, that sort of thing.

Perhaps so, but Ocelot is driving Ray and he sucks at driving. He can't even parallel park a Metal Gear, what a noob.

He can't park? Well that's just silly of him. I mean, he has a Metal Gear for crying out loud!

Ray: *smashes cars out of parking spaces, or just stands on them*

Traffic Cop: Hey! What do you think you're doing?!

Ray: *looks at cop, makes metallic roaring noise, faceplate opens to reveal laser cannon*

Traffic Cop: Ummm...oh. Err, well, carry on!
