Metal Gear: Ac!d is a turn-based stealth-strategy card game spin-off in the Metal Gear series for the PSP.
Gameplay consists of turn-based actions initiated via cards, firearm cards can either be instantly used or equipped to use later depending on the type, equipped firearm cards actually use a calibre-system, as weapons will need to be "loaded" (except when used as part of a reaction-counter attack, which destroys the card), via a card of the same calibre: for instance, the AKM/SVD/PSG1/Mosin Nagant use "7.62mm" ammo in-game, so equipping an SVD Card, it can be then "Loaded" with an AKM card to fire it. (And each card also provides a different amount of bullets, loading a Mosin-Nagant with an AKM will have 3 Mosin-shots while loading an AKM with a Mosin will result in only one.)
Most of the firearms in Ac!d return from past games, often with an unchanged/slightly altered model but there is a decent selection of new/unique firearms. (some of which would return in later games such as Peace Walker.)
Handguns
Heckler & Koch Mark 23 Phase II Prototype
Snake's starting Handgun, the Socom appears as an Instant-use firearm, firing 4 .45 ACP bullets per use, the Socom is always suppressed and it's .45 ACP bullets are given a permanent knock-down effect, knocking the target down with the first shot that connects. (While other weapons usually require an additional card that gives the effect to them)
The model is recycled from MGS1 as it's part of the early-game "MGS1 Card Pack" instead of the MGS2 Model.
Rifles
AKS-74U
The AKS-74U is used by most guards, it's model is recycled from MGS2 for the most part. (The only change to the model in Ac!d is that now only a specific version of the weapon has the laser-sight, which can be "freeaimed" instead of needing to lock-on to an enemy but preventing targeting specific objects like Hand Grenades.)
FAMAS G1
The FAMAS bullpup rifle appears in Snake's deck from the start, like the Socom, it is instant-use and has a special effect that other weapons require an additional card to add to them, in the FAMAS' case, it adds "Cost" a timer that is added to when you use a card and how much depends on the card, this means the FAMAS can increase an enemy's cost to the point where you'll get another turn before they get their turn.
The FAMAS' model is recycled from MGS1.
