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.

Thanks for the tag! @Regranned from @the_moneymike - Dominion Defense 2017 #DELMARVA #USPSA Championship Match Stage 1: #Hornet I finished 13th of 58 in class #Limited (very tight field) and 38th overall out of 199 shooters. I also finished 1st place in Limited D for the weekend of 8! But this was my best/most fun stage. Only mistake was the reload thinking there was one in the chamber. Would've finished even higher! #APEXTACTICAL #gorillawrapz #SPRINGERPRECISION #detroitammoco #200gr #Major #SMITHANDWESSON #TMGN @gorillawrapzchris #shartshooting #pewpewlife

The possibly easiest movie gun clone build: Tenet Service Handgun

With today's modern gun culture being more friendly towards having just plain' ol fun, or LARPin (Live-Action Role Play), we have seen a rise in people openly talking about and doing movie gun recreations. Sometimes, these guns are fantastical creations requiring an insane effort, full gunsmithing knowledge and being a high quality prop maker, and depending on your level of commitment, also requiring federal permits, be it for shortening the gun, suppressors or full-auto.

But let's play on the other side of the spectrum, I want a cheap, solid, reliable, useable movie replica, without breaking the bank, and I'll be doing a tiny spin on it for my own purposes, because what's the joy of having a gun like this if you can't also shoot it and have fun?

Let's figure out what we need for the Tenet Service Handgun, and then slightly modifying it for the purpose of USPSA Limited/IPSC Standard division.

Through out the movie, we keep seeing Tenet operatives use Glock 19s with threaded barrels. By using Palmetto State Armory's website as an indicator, the starting point here is about $600 for the pistol itself.

From looking around and using the amazing website IMFDB (Internet Movie Firearms Database) as a resource, we can discern several details pretty clearly

Here, we can can clearly see that it appears the barrel seems to have silver/grey color to it. KKM Precision is known as one of, it not the best manufacturer of drop-in barrels for the Glock pistols. Their suppressor threaded stainless steel finish barrel for a Glock 17 is currently $250

And the gun appears to have standard factory Glock sights. Those are garbage, so we'll find a different set of sights for it. Realistically as well, a modern high end agency such as Tenet, would replace those sights

Again, using PSA's website, Trijicon three-dot night sights are $130

Assuming your gun came with at least two 17 round magazines, let's buy one more magazine, just to have a backup. That's another $30'ish at PSA's website. Now, let's get a three-pack of Arredondo's +3 extensions. This will give us the ability to in competition start with a 20+1 capacity while still fitting in the box for IPSC Standard division. That's another $75

Other base pad options exist, but these are made for min-maxxing in the Standard division, and they have a solid reputation for working properly. Now, the pieces de resistance, which is totally unnecessary, but I'll advocate for it anyways. A quality trigger. Yes, I said I wanted a clone, but I also believe I want the gun to be fun to actually shoot, and for Glocks, a better trigger matters a lot. Assuming you are building the gun on a Gen 5, I'd take a look at Timney or the new Glock Performance trigger. If you are using a Gen 3 or 4, then look into Apex, Agency, Pyramid or whatever trigger you enjoy. I'm very partial to Agency's glock trigger. This can run you anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on how you go, let's say $200 for ease of math. So, with the current list: $600 The gun, Glock 19 or 17

$250 KKM threaded barrel

$130 Trijicon night sights. $30 Extra magazine

$75 Basepads x 3

$200 Trigger. $1285 total, before belt and holster. Provided you want to be movie accurate, you can get this down to $850 with just the barrel and a gun. Even less if you shop used and go for a shiny threaded barrel, not specifically a KKM, but I will recommend that one due to it's reputation.

Now of course, some of these details can be skimped on depending on how you want to do it. This is my theoretical outline for it. The most important part is to have fun. Personally, I already have a SilencerCo barrel, good enough trigger, and enough mags. So when I pull the proverbial trigger on this project, I'll maybe just reinstall the factory sights or buy a cheap set of Truglo sights to replace the red dot mounting plate I currently got. I might also leave the small Magpul magwell I got on the gun since it makes the grip fit my hand so much better.

I hope to see you end up thinking about movie gun clones as much as I do.

The Growth of Passion

 It had to be roughly about eight years ago when I decided to pick up a firearm and start shooting “legally”. My initial entry into firearms was my older brother given me a Glock 22 (.40cal) and I was estatic! No one could tell me anything! I just knew that this firearm was the best one ever and I was going to learn how to shoot USPSA Matches and everything! No matter how many times my wrist would hurt after shooting it, I decided to buy ammo in bulk. A thousand rounds of .40cal. and I shot at least twice a week just to make sure that I could develop some sort of recoil management; that never happened. I quickly put that firearm in the safe and picked up a KelTec P11. This gun was a 9mm and I just knew if I could conceal it then it would shoot just as great. I began training with the KelTec P11 and noticed that the similar affect was happening to my wrist. Now I'm starting to think that I just have weak areas of my game that I need to work out more but that wasn't the case. What I found out is at this point in life I did not know much about the science behind firearms. I knew I wanted to shoot guns and do hood rat stuff with my friends, but I did not know the scince. The Glock 22 was a .40cal, about 4.25 inches and the KelTec was a 3 inch and essentially I went from one extreme in the .40cal to another extreme in a Micro Carrie. All of this to say my early years of firearm development quickly was met with brutal force and I do not regret any of those days.

That was 2011. Here we are 11 years later and almost 75 different firearms that has finally landed me on my safe queens now. Now don’t let the name “safe queens” fool you. Since connecting with Brownells.com, all of my baby have gotten make overs and we’ve even done a few custom builds that would blow your mind! One of them, an AR9mm, we complete with a Brownells Bureau of Propaganda theme. It’s looks just like the flag and I’m very proud of it.

So you see. From where we started to where we are, the passion has grown. We no longer shoot anything stock. Most of my firearms are ported now and all have some sort of optic on them. I refuse to even wear run of meel holsters now. Where at one point I thought it ridiculous to spend over $50 on a holster; now my average holster cost about $130. Again, money isn’t the factor of the growth of passion...it’s knowledge. Knowledge will cause you to no longer allow money to limit your creativity and wisdom. 

Another thing that will remove limits from your mental and allow the passion within you to grow is connecting to the right people. I forever be thankful for the BOP Family of BrownellsINC. Each of them inspire and stretch my creativity on gun builds to enhance their functionality, as well as, there sex appeal. I love showing up to the range and pulling out an amazing looking firearm but then it performing better than it looks! NO GREATER FEELING! I also want to thank you for making this far. You are the ones that I do it for. Not to have significant numbers, there are guys to speak to those people with itching ears. You are the ones that desire great info from aight laymens...THATS ME! lol. Love you guys and until next time, NEVER COMPARE - NEVER COMPLAIN - NEVER COMPETE! Why? BECAUSE YOU ARE THE THREAT!
