What use is the water pistol?
I have unlocked the Water Pistol after completing the right side objective of the right main mission.
Now that I have it, it seem to have unlimited ammo, but just blind for 2 ~ 3 sec the Mother Base guard if I headshot them.
Out of holding up, is there any use to this weapon? Or is it a joke weapon like the Banana was in Peace Walker?
The waterpistol has some uses:
- Can hold up enemy soldiers
- Can be used to distract soldiers. Shoot on the ground/wall near a guard and they will investigate the sound.
- Can extinguish fire. Useful to extinguish those barrel-fires
- Can be used to clear mines (mines will explode when shot)
- Can be used to blind/stun enemies for a short time. If you manage to shoot an enemy directly in the face, they will be stunned for a short period.
- Can be used to disable electronics silently. Just shoot at electronics and they will be disabled. This works on Communications Equipment (Radar Dishes), radio transmitters, power supplies etc.
Can be useful against skulls. When shot, skulls will absorb the water, which stuns them briefly.
Can be used in the fight against the man on fire. It can stop him from doing some attacks. It's also possible to extinguish him, but that takes roughly 3-5 magazines.
