In Metal Gear Solid 3, there are a few points where Ocelot hits the ridiculous button and spends an eternity spinning pistols like a cowboy in a beret. It looks too crazy to be able to pull off in real life, right? Right?
Wrong! There’s an entire movement on YouTube devoted entirely to recreating the character’s insane pistol tricks, some clips being genuinely impressive (above), other clips being mostly impressive and a little scary.

Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 6:21 PMDoes Kotaku Aus, really have to publish these American puff pieces?? – The videos arent even recent – one says look out for “MGS4 due out next year”

Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 6:54 PMWow, why would any game developer put that in? It looked plain stupid.

Friday, November 4, 2011 at 1:52 AMIt was meant to be campy, like pretty much every scene from MGS3 in which Revolver Ocelot appears in, which I believe it succeeds in doing. If you want a laugh, look up Revolver Ocelot’s ocelot call from the same game. It’s even worse (but also hilarious for a guy who is trying to be a Snake-level badass).

Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 9:12 PMIt’s not a huge news piece, but it’s not terrible. I am impressed with the dexterity in some of these videos. (And I found the original MGS3 scene utterly mesmerising, even though I’m not a gun person).
I don’t mind a lighter article every now and again. For your part, feel free not to click on it
