For sure. The descriptions about grinding down the bottom of the trigger guard to get a high grip is something that a trained individual would do, not really something your average tech advisor would consider.
The way the 1911 is setup is pretty much how a high-level pistol competition shooter would do it. Very impressive for a video game, and one of the things that really sets MGS apart from similar games.
I thought the same thing.
It's amazing that even 100 years since it's incarnation the main components haven't changed all that much, same could be said for the AK.
