Weapon changes?

[Dirty Duck]

I read an interesting theory about this way back. While it's *probably* just licensing, there is something else going on with MGSV's weapons. Almost all of them are composites of two or more real world weapons, or in some cases, just a "legally distinct" alteration of one. Indeed, each fills a very obvious role. Diamond Dogs' default rifles are stand-ins for M16s and other NATO type weapons. The SVG series are AKs and other combloc weapons (the obscure VZ-58 has some DNA in there).

How appropriate, then, is it that Venom's arsenal, like himself, are all patchwork doppelgangers? They do the same job, they look the part at a distance. Good enough, except for the most discerning eyes. Phantoms.

But it's probably just Konami skimping on licensing fee.

Bro has to use a real Walkman tho because the soldiers on the playground would make fun of him if he had a Sanyo
