Near the end Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Ocelot loaded a 9 x 18 mm PM round encased in a sabot into a Single Action Army revolver. However the round turns out to be a blank. But a part of this confuses me.

A sabot, is a shoe to allow a bullet of a smaller diameter to fit into a larger diameter chamber. However, when a Sabot is fired, it travels down to the end of barrel where the change of air pressure forces the projectile out if the sabot. So the fact the cartridge was a blank would not have taken a projectile out if the equation.

So, does anyone have an explaination?

Yes, but a video game infamous for being anal retentive on detail.

...His arm takes over a person.

A FUCKING ARM TAKES OVER A PERSON, MANAGES TO SUPPLANT THE US MARINE CORSE AND DRIVE A GIANT ROBOT TO NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST 4.0 IN OUTER HEAVEN IN RUSSIA...But it was all a dream of a possessed filing cabinet 40 years ago that was built by a clone!

I don't know, except for the parts that makes it a video game with supernatural elements MGS is one of the most realistic games I've ever played.

Which one of us has the nearly-white name?

Thought so. No acting like a mod, it's in the rules. I'm a mod, so I can act like one.

Ziff, I think you've made your point.

Oh, because you're a mod doesn't mean you're automatically a better person. You can still be an asshole . Sorry, just had to get that point across. oh no. power.

Honestly, this board has really gone to hitlers dogs

Apologies for not helping you with your MGS3 request, Ziff.

Ziff is Plus Sign

And I agree with Ziffski as well.

Edit: Going to elaborate a bit.

While MGS is known to be anal retentive, it is still a videogame. It's the same with anime in a sense. You can be realistic, sure to a point, but there is also room to be creative and not follow the rules of logic so much in either medium.

I mean, seriously. If you hide in a cardboard box and move around in it quietly. Nobody will notice you.

I don't know. If I am a guard and I see a box twenty feet away, then I turn my back and suddenly it is within five feet. You better be damn well sure that I am calling GhostBusters.

I think the point Ten was making is that despite the completely unrealistic events that happen in the games sometimes (Y HELO THAR LIQUID'S ARM), the technical aspects concerning the weaponary are typically pretty close to reality... to an extent. And so, to the original question, I must answer: the creators made a mistake concerning the sabot. Occam's razor, biznatches.

*Casually browses topic*

It's symbolic of the Evils of War, which Hideo Kojima knows all about despite almost certainly having never come within miles of anything resembling a front line.

DEEP AND SYMBOLIC LIKE TOOL SONGS!!1!!1

....anyway.

To be a bit more serious, if I understand what Ten is saying correctly, the fact that the cartridge is a blank is basically irrelevant in this case, due to it being encased in a sabot.

Yeah, I have to guess that they just screwed up there and hoped no one would notice.

..Of course I read it. I wasn't acting like a mod, I was acting like a friggin' human who was annoyed at a mod. Big deal.

and I though Ten was Ziff... woops
