I find it kind of sad that Metal Gear Solid has two¹ characters with names of the form [Preferred Weapon] [Fursona] and then no other game in the series ever does this again

three if you count Vulcan Raven

wait whos the other one

It's Dizzy!@DizzyDelta7/12/2023, 1:05 AM

I can think of at least 3: Revolver Ocelot, Vulcan Raven, and Sniper Wolf

Natalie @nex37/12/2023, 1:07 AM

"Vulcan" isn't a weapon!

I could've sworn they had a Vulcan cannon! I haven't played MGS in like a decade though 😅 so I'm not sure if they actually do

Psycho Mantis and Decoy Octopus definitely don't count though

It's the model name for the minigun he uses.

hmmmmm..... his name isn't M61 Vulcan Raven but maybe it half-counts

I’ve definitely seen Vulcan used as a generic term to refer to this class of Gatling guns regardless of whether they’re actually Vulcans. For example: every Gundam ever uses the term generically like this.

Modren @Modren7/12/2023, 2:44 AM

I mean, they're not "PSG1 Wolf" or "Single-Action Army Ocelot" either

Natalie @nex37/12/2023, 3:29 AM

sure but "Vulcan" isn't a class of weapons while "Sniper" and "Revolver" are
