Has Solid Snake canonically killed anyone?

Yes, Snakes (Solid, Naked/Big Boss, Venom) canonically kill many people, despite gameplay allowing non-lethal runs, as cutscenes and story events in the Metal Gear Solid series show them using lethal force in crucial moments, eliminating major bosses like Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, and The Boss (Naked Snake), and fighting through countless soldiers during alerted states or intense combat situations like MGS3's chase. While they often prefer stealth or non-lethal takedowns when possible, combat is their purpose, and they have high kill counts, with some (like Big Boss) being mass killers, and others (like Solid) feeling guilt but acting decisively when needed.
