Virtuous Mission location:
Rassvet, south of the only stairs in the area, next to the crates.
Operation Snake Eater location:
Peschera Cave, follow the right path, it's in the area after the first tunnel just before The Pain boss fight.
A very (very) powerful shotgun that will blow enemies away when you shoot them with it. Holds 5 shells (4 + 1 chambered), takes a while to pump the next round into the chamber, and takes even longer to reload. You cannot use iron sights on this weapon, so aiming is very tricky. Also, CQC is disabled for this weapon.

===Automat Kalashnikov 47 Assault Rifle===
===Automat Kalashnikov 47 Assault Rifle===
Operation Snake Eater Location:
Rassvet, there is only one set of stairs in the area, the AK-47 is on the
platform at the top. If missed at the first location, it can be found later at Bolshaya Past Base,
inside the small weapons building at the top right of the area.
The AK-47 is the chief weapon of the Russian military, chambered in 7.62x39mm. It's about the same as the XM16E1 - while it lacks the 3-round burst setting and the capability to attach suppressors, it makes up for this by allowing you to hold more ammo. Holds 31 rounds (30 + 1 chambered).

===VZ-61 Scorpion===
Location: Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab East Wing, in the room south of the bathroom.
You need to be disguised as Major Raikov, be dragging a knocked out guard, or closely following a guard's patrol route to enter the room. You can also unlock the doors with radio frequencies learned through interrogation. The east door is unlocked with 142.81 and the west with 141.06.

===M63 Light Machine Gun===
===M63 Light Machine Gun===
Operation Snake Eater Location:
Svyatogornyj East, inside the top-left room of the cabin. You have to climb
over the crates to reach it. If you missed it at the above location, you can find it later in Groznyj Grad
North West during your escape, inside the small weapons building north of the ladder to the sewer.
A powerful and difficult to aim machine gun. This is perfect for those Rambo moments - just strip to Naked camo, wield this monster and start running around. Holds a whopping 101 rounds (100 + 1 chambered) and takes quite a while to reload, so use tactical reload to avoid getting caught in the middle of a belt change. This weapon makes Snake let out a primal scream when he's firing it for a while, in a neat little dramatic touch. You can't use CQC or iron sights on this weapon.

===Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle===
Virtuous Mission location:
Dremuchij North, when you come across a path to your right, follow it to it's
end to find this gun on the ground.
Operation Snake Eater location:
Ponizovje West, an easily missed area found by taking a left at the fork in the path on the river leading to the main warehouse, in the small weapons building. It can also be found in an armory at Sokrovenno South during the fight with the End. Procuring it at Ponizovje gives you the chance to kill The End early.
The rifle for the discerning sniper. Features an adjustable scope that can zoom up to 10x, and rounds powerful enough to penetrate through a few enemies at once. Holds 11 rounds (10 + 1 chambered). Unlike the past couple Metal Gear games, scope drift is determined by your current stamina level, so it's usually unnecessary to use anti-depressant drugs to aim more effectively. You cannot move when this weapon is equipped.
