Special suits and equipment found in MGS2
As the title says, here is a list of different equipment,suits, and their abilities in MGS2


~Armstech Stealth Camouflage~

NEAR INVISIBILITY
Device affects electromagnetic field around wearer, whose entire body becomes nearly undetectable by the unaided eye.

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Optic refraction processor redirects light waves in real-time to simulate transparency.

USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Small, touch-sensitive device activates with light tap. Camouflage can function when wet and in very hot or cold environments.

~Sneaking Suits~
HEAT INSULATION
State-of-the-art polythermal technology insulates wearer and maintains core body temperature in cold environments.

EXTRA EQUIPMENT
Harness has pouches for ammunition magazines and medical dressings. Holster on leg holds handgun.

COMFORT
Elbow and knee pads cushion joints for prolonged crawling and kneeling.

STEALTH
Streamlined designs allow for quick and quiet movement through air or water. Soft-soled footwear complete outfit.
~Battle Dress Uniforms (B.D.U)~
CAMOUFLAGE PATTERNS
Three-colour patterns blend wearer with outdoor environment. Designs vary with operational area and expected ranges of visual contact with enemy.

PRACTICAL MATERIAL
Fabrics, usually cotton and cotton-polyester, offer comfort and durability for training, combat and various other situations.

ACCESSORY: LOAD-BEARING HARNESS
Shoulder straps and belt can carry magazines, canteens, knives and radios. Harness distributes weight across upper body.

~Presidential Security Assault Team Gear~
HEADS UP DISPLAY
Display mounted inside helmet provides intelligence in visual format. Video and graphics appear without obstructing wearer's vision.

HIGHER MISSION SUCCESS
GPS receivers let agent move to waypoints and locate friendly positions with ease. Unit provides current objectives and orders, while targeting systems increase combat lethality.

COST EFFICIENCY
Sealed membrane protects battery providing power to equipment. Unit boasts greater durability and practicality than US Army's Land Warrior System predecessor.

CONVENTIONAL PROTECTION
Ceramic-plated body armour protects from small-arms fire and is highly effective in use with ballistics shield. Unit also includes various bio-sensors.

FLEXIBILITY
Data link and advanced processors receive updated information in real-time. DARPA-developed Human Strength Amplification development makes weight of unit insignificant.

~Skull Suit~
INDEPENDENT AND INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY
Material resembles rubber and protective layer contains network of powerful, self-sustaining sensors. System called "smart skin" by military research and development personnel.

ENHANCED UNDERWATER PERFORMANCE
Microscopic grooves using technology based on sharkskin reduce opposing force of currents. Breathing apparatus supplies extra oxygen.

AERODYNAMIC DESIGN
Indents in outer layer also reduce air drag on land. Principle of desgin similar to "dimples" on golfballs.

DISEASE PROTECTION
Sensors provide oxygen and apply pressure to internal organs as needed to prevent decompression illness in deep water. Suit resistant to toxic and biohazardous substances.

INJURY PREVENTION
Sensors between outer surface and interior detect impact of external forces. Artificial muscle tissue made of such sensors instantly contract to minimize damage.

~Blast Suit~
E.O.D. PROTECTION
Suit constructed to withstand blast and heat of explosions, as well as flying debris.

SPECIAL DESIGN
Laminated ballistic insert protects entire front of suit, while spine protector reduces trauma from backward falls. Material similiar to bulletproof fibre stops small-arms fire from penetrating.

EASE OF MOVEMENT
Suit offers flexibility despite weight of material (50 kilograms).

COMFORT
Cooling system compensates for suit's poor ventilation. Inner tubes circulate coolant to prevent wearer from overheating.
~Ninja Suit~
SUPERIOR EXOSKELETAL TECHNOLOGY
Improved design eliminates need for extensive surgical procedures. Removable outfit offers superhuman fighting ability without causing unwanted side effects.

~Arsenal Tengu Combat Suit~
EXOSKELETAL TECHNOLOGY
Employs design created by DARPA, research and development organization of US Department of Defense.

SUPERHUMAN PHYSICAL ABILITIES
Actuators and artificial muscle tissue improve wearer's agility, strength and endurance to advanced levels.

HEIGHTENED SENSORY PERCEPTION
Helmet increases range of forward and peripheral vision as well as hearing. Suit provides better situational awareness overall.

HIGHER SURVIVABILITY
Layer of armour completely covers wearer and resists gunfire, explosions and cuts. Human Strength Amplification improves offensive capability and chances of survival.
~Snake Arm Suit~
ADVANCED EXOSKELETON TECHNOLOGY
Utilizes latest generation of artificial muscle tissue. US Army-sponsored technology similar to systems found in Skull Suit, Tengu combat suit and Metal Gear RAY.

REINFORCED ARMOR
Electronic sensors contract in presence of external forces, thereby redirecting impact and preventing penetration. Suit can withstand repeated attacks from firearms, explosives, and bladed weapons.

EXTRAORDINARY MOTOR SKILLS
Human Strength Amplification dramatically increases muscular strength and coordination.

REMOVABLE MECHANICAL ARMS
Tentacle-like arms can move, extend and compress at wearer's will. Powerful claws fire bursts of unguided missiles and can grasp objects. Use of arms and claws in concert provides means of transportation.
~Rail Gun~
HIGH ENERGY AND POWER
Conductor fires bullets using plasma electrons to boost acceleration. Bullets have kinetic energy (10 megajoules) comparable to rounds from tank cannons.

PORTABILITY
Electromagnetic weapon boasts firepower of artillery shells in personal format. Gun provides qualified handler with effective means of neutralizing enemies.

LIABILITY: EXPERIMENTAL ERRORS
Prototype has problems with plasma and inner-rail release. High risk of accidental firing makes rail gun too dangerous to be practical field weapon.
~High Frequency Blade (HF)~
~DEADLINESS~
Sharp edge cuts through flesh and reinforced armour alike. Blunt side of blade can knock foes unconscious with well delivered strike.

~LIGHT WEIGHT~
Sword moves through air with great speed to produce high frequency sound in form of audible squeal.

~DURABILITY~
Shatter-resistant blade can deflect bullets and even unguided missiles.
~Samurai Swords~
~HISTORICAL STATUS~
Pair of swords collectively called daisho ("long-short") traditionally carried by samurai, aristocratic warriors of medieval Japan, to signify nobility status. Daisho consisted of katana sword and usually wakizashi sword.

~KATANA~
Longer sword with slightly curved blade measuring at least 2 feet in length. Sheathed in obi, or belt sash, with blade facing up.

~WAKIZASHI~
Shorter sword with blade between 1 foot and 2 feet in length.

~ADVANCED METALLURGY~
Blades can withstand, even deflect, barrage of machine gun fire.
