A Tiny question about Ocelot.
An odd thing I noticed. Ocelot, for whatever reason, uses Mateba revolvers instead of his signature Colt SAA. If you don't know what I mean. This is what he uses in TPP: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/MatebaAutoRevolver6in.jpg

And this is what he uses in every other game: http://www.hallowellco.com/colt-saa-8136-left.jpg

(Don't worry the links are safe) So what's the deal Mr. Bobcat? Fancy a Doulbe action rather than a single? Anyway, I was just wondering is all. Maybe there's something on the wiki that explains it, but I prefer Fan imput. Leave your thoughts down below!

The game doesn't use any real world weapons this time around.

Well I know that. I'm just wondering why he switched. That's all.

Because there are no real world weapons this time around. He doesn't mention the switch or a colt at all in any narrative sense in the game.

It doesn't really explain anything. I mean he doesn't need to say the name of the gun. >_> He can still use the colt.

No he can't. There is a reason they aren't using real world weapons, most likely licensing fees. If you have no use of the license you can't use the name or likeness of the gun.

The same can be said for the Mateba. Which is also a real world gun. So that arguement kinda falls apart when both of the guns are also in the real world.

well but they could have used a model that looks more like SAA as they did with ak-47 and m16

You could say it is because Ocelot is working for Big Boss' company...who makes their own weapons.

So? He switched. It isn't that big of a deal.

I know. I just want the reason as to why. I mean he switches back later. So why switch in the first place? XD

Maybe Ocelot is just branching out or something. I don't even think he got a chance to use his revolvers this time around.

Well there was that one time he shot up in motherbase (No spoilers) And in MGO he uses them just fine. Though in an odd way.

I...don't remember him shooting anything. Maybe I am forgetting something. MGO will have him shooting stuff up. Just kinda weird we didn't see him do some spinning revolvers show for 15 minutes this time around. But I am OK with that. The schtick was getting old.
