Appearance[]
The Raven is a golden, six-barrel rotary hip firing machine gun. Outside of it's firing handle, front-lifting handle and a part of the wirings retaining their black color, the rest of the gun is made of pure gold. The model always has an extra laser attached to the front of the barrel cluster.
Description[]
Like the Vulcan, Raven has high fire rate, but low damage per second. However, Raven has chance to freeze enemies and finish them off more quickly, and the ROF is also increased. It is not a big improvement though, and you can play the same way with both guns.
Tips[]
Drum Mag can double ammo because Raven doesn't have magazines. Use an accurate secondary weapon, such as Jericho or some other pistols for backup, to kill enemies on further distances.
Trivia[]
- Vulcan Raven is a character in Metal Gear Solid series. His last name was inspiration for this gun's nickname, as Vulcan is the standard version of this weapon. In Metal Gear Vulcan Raven also used the M6A1 Vulcan machine gun.
- The Raven does not have a visible trigger.
- The Raven reminds some people of Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven".
- The Raven and the Vulcan both look like miniguns. (edited), well duhh they are.
- It is theoretically impossible to attach a laser to the barrel cluster like depicted on the game model because the barrels spin so fast the momentum would've caused it to fling off the gun. The minigun in real-life also doesn't support any sort of attachments outside of the muzzle, let alone a laser on a spinning gun.
