What happens if you use auto-fire during Ocelot's interrogation?
Before he begins Solid Snake's interrogation, Ocelot says:
"Don't even think about using auto-fire, or I'll know."
If you use auto-fire anyway, what happens?
Solution 1:
If the game detects that you are using autofire, the electrocution continues, controller input is disabled and you'll die.
The game detects autofire via a button-press threshold. If you get over this, the game assumes you use autofire and you'll die.
Reading over some sources, it appears that some auto-fire controllers simply won't work (the auto fire is disabled) and some controllers won't be detected (because they don't reach the button-press threshold).
