Snakebite .45

This weapon is a unique .45 Auto Pistol inspired by the custom “Snake Match” M1911 used by Big Boss in the videogame Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. When equipped, it also equips the user with a cosmetic combat knife, held in the same CQC posture used by Big Boss in the aforementioned game.

Parts Used

I started with the .45 Auto Pistol mesh from the Honest Hearts DLC and retextured it to be two-tone. I then removed part of the left grip panel and added the lozenge-shaped divot from the Silenced .22 SMG's handguard. I then added the match trigger and skeleton hammer from A Light Shining in Darkness, and the charging handle from the Silenced .22 SMG as a thread protector.

Usage Notes

The .45 Auto Pistol Silencer mod can be attached as a cosmetic upgrade, but even without it, this weapon fires silently.
