MGS4s quirkiest gun, the Race Gun

So, in Metal Gear solid 4, there's a gun dubbed the "Race Gun" also sometimes known as the "Ricochet gun"

In gameplay terms, this gun does less damage per hit than the Glock 18 - 300 dmg, whereas the Race Gun does 200 dmg. Despite using a cartridge that's rated for higher pressure. The game's way of explaining it, is that it's using reduced charged ammo. In reality, you would also need to change spring weights as well, to ensure reliable cycling. This design of a double-stack 1911 pistol with a 2 piece frame, is usually referred to as a "2011" pistol. Technically that term is owned by a another manufacturer of double-stack 1911s with 2 piece frames, but "2011" is generic enough in my opinion.

So the race gun. What kind of racing is it for? It's optimized for IPSC Standard and USPSA Limited division. Judging by the baseplate of the magazine being flat and running paralell to the slide, it mimicks guns that has to fit within the Standard division box in IPSC.

This particular looks to fit the USPSA Limited Division slightly more close. The main point behind USPSA Limited / IPSC Standard, is that you can have a very conventional gun in 9x19 or bigger, and it has to fit within a box, without that many funky additions like a ported barrel, optic, muzzle brake or really large magazine. The 2011 pistols are the current domineering guns in these divisions, but we are seeing more different guns rise up in the top levels of competitions, Nils Jonasson represented Canik with a striker-fired pistols in Limited Division at the previous United States Practical Shooting Association's (USPSA) National Championship in Limited Division.

These guns are usually chambered in .40 S&W as that's the minimum caliber to fit the require for what is called "Major" power factor. The benefit is that for hits that are outside the center, but still on target, you will get less punishment for sloppy precision. The downside however, is more recoil and less capacity. This will really bite you in the ass in shooting events with high round counts, forcing you to reload more often. The gun in the game however, is supposed to be chambered in .38 Super also known as 9x23mm.

So, what we do we gain by using this cartridge instead? If you look really close, .38 Super / 9x23 has slightly less of a taper than 9x19. The cartridge can also be roll-sized to slim down the cartridge slightly more to make sure you get more cartridges in the same magazine. So not only is 19 rounds a realistic capacity, I would argue the should have 1 or 2 more rounds, perhaps even more 3 more rounds considering how some people are tuning springs and magazine followers. IPSC Standard Division does not limit your magazine by number of bullets, but in actual length, that way, it's up to the competitors and equipment manufactures to see how hard they can squeeze.

What is the military/law enforcement application of such a pistol?

The benefits are very clear. You can use higher capacity magazines, more precise guns for more precise shots increasing the range of how far a sidearm would be useful for the soldier/operator. A better trigger as well allowing for the person pulling the trigger to be more confident in their equipment. We are also seeing more and more police agencies and law enforcement departments allowing officers to personally use 2011s and red dot equipped pistols.

For the MGS4 Race gun in particular, the base gun is obviously by the historic Streyer-Voight Infinity. Currently, as of writing, to order a gun, you must go through their consultation, which costs $1000, this is on top of their guns in general starting at $4500, so that means you are looking at $5500 before you even have picked a color.

This does give you a pistol of incredible craftsmanship which will last as long you take care of it. So yes, despite the quirkiness of it, it's a highly realistic gun and with modern machining quality only increasing and becoming more affordable, we are likely going to see even more of these pistols in the future.

We know how traumatic it is for Dean to watch Cas die, and it’s happed five different times, right in front of him. The boy went to hell and had less PTSD than when his Angel dies

But what would it be like for Cas to see Dean die. I literally can’t imagine the distress, and the pure rage he’d direct at whoever was responsible

I’m thinking metatron and ‘well guess what, he’s dead too’. I’m thinking Cas killing Billie to save Dean and Sam. I’m thinking the way he ran to Dean’s side when Donatello hurt him and then commit some slight war crimes even though Dean loves to be choked within an inch of his life

Anyways. What would that do to Cas? Tell me, in detail, I can take it

Anyway Cas is the protagonist of supernatural to the extent that in season 9 Sam and Dean have to borrow his big bad to kill because they’ve run out of villains of their own. Like, all the way through 9x21, Metatron is Cas’s problem first and foremost. Obviously he’s the reason for Kevin’s death but that’s not really part of a wider pattern of him being a threat to humans. His villain status is about his role as a rival to Cas, and the fact that his rule of Heaven would be bad for the angels – potential consequences for Earth don’t really come into it. When Sam and Dean get involved with him in 9x18 and 9x21, they’re specifically helping out Cas, rather than having any particular skin of their own in the game (aside from the potential vengeance motive re Kevin, but that’s actually not really touched on). Metatron is Cas’s problem, not theirs. But then once Dean has killed Abaddon in 9x21, suddenly Metatron is the level of “boss fight” it makes sense to reserve the first blade for even though 1) he’s still just a regular angel at that point and 2) there’s no real indication he poses any particular threat to humanity that would mean he had to be taken off the table. It’s literally just that we need Sam and Dean to have a season villain to kill, and Metatron is the best candidate left. And I mean, Metatron’s defeat isn’t really to do with Sam and Dean in the end anyway – it’s about Cas revealing to the rest of the angels Metatron’s true nature and them turning against him. Dean’s attempt to kill Metatron doesn’t really have any meaningful impact on the episode other than his own death – it’s irrelevant re actually wrapping up the season arc. To keep up the pretence that Sam and Dean are the true protagonists, they have to go after Metatron in their own right for no clear practical reason, but it’s Cas’s actual victory, because the whole thing is his plot, not theirs.

You ever think about the insanity of Crowley making it a point at the start of Dean’s demon arc that he never lied to Dean about the Mark of Cain, despite not telling the entire truth about it? And tells him that that’s important? But then Dean lies to him throughout the entirety of their mission to stop Cain? About being in Cain’s list? And about how he’d give back the blade to Crowley when he planned to give it to Cas all along? And how it mirrors Cas choosing Crowley over Dean way back in season 6? And him lying to Dean all throughout that season? And how it’s all about infidelity? You ever think about that?
