Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Rex Black Plastic Model Kit Kotobukiya

Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game directed
by Hideo
Kojima. The game was developed by Konami Computer
Entertainment Japan and first published by Konami i
n 1998 for
the PlayStation. It is widely considered to be one
of the greatest
and most important games of all time, and is herald
ed as the
game that made the stealth genre popular. It is the
third
canonical title released in the Metal Gear series,
being a direct
sequel to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
REX was the ultimate Metal Gear, as it was not only
capable of
delivering a nuclear weapon both to and from any po
int on the
globe, it could do so "undetectably" and "untraceab
ly." All
previous Metal Gears were merely mobile ground-base
d launch
systems for nuclear missiles, little more than the
land-based
equivalent of ballistic missile submarines. REX uti
lized a rail gun,
which fired much smaller projectiles without chemic

propellants and contained stealth technology – facto
rs which
made them virtually invisible to radar. It thus fat

the 'no first strike' principle of Mutually Assured
Destruction –
whoever controlled it could launch a nuclear attack
at any target
at any time, with no warning before impact. In addi

underground bunkers, a lesson that was learned from
the Gulf War.
