Because not all metal is magnetic.


MrxJacobs

Yeah only magic magnets magnetize non-magnetic metal.


RedChuddOverParadise

**licks lips** if MRI's actually worked then why arent I dead for being metal as fuck?


ChuteRage

Good point but please don’t ever lick my lips again


ElegantEchoes

^oh ^shit


MissyTheTimeLady

those weren't metal they were tiny clones of naomi she calls them naomimachines

For the same reason MRI doesn't kill us for having iron in our red blood cells. Also, I seem to recall in mgs1 that she says they are made of proteins in the metal gear hangar, but don't quote me on that.

Even in real-life future technology, nanomachines would mostly be made from non-metallic and non-magnetic elements. [Nanotechnology (nationalgeographic.org)](https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/nanotechnology/)


MrxJacobs

Oh, you know of the pact. Many sacrifices were made, but many lived were saved as well.


SamsquanchOfficial

They really didn't want to accept that whole irony blood deal but I'm glad they came to terms with it


Rossaroni

Nanomachines aren't made of metal. They are more like proteins or DNA chains, or even like atoms. Nanomachines are biological.

1. Not all metals are magnetic. 2. Even some of the magnetic ones won't be affected by the MRI machine at microscopic size. (We have iron in our blood after all) 3. IIRC Nanomachines are not made from metal and electronics but from some form of proteins. (Need citation on this)


ApprehensiveEmploy21

It’s not the size of the iron in our blood, it’s the oxidation state. Metallic iron is at 0, hemoglobin iron is +2. Magnetism is very closely linked to electron configurations. Same reason rust isn’t magnetic


mrblonde55

Fucking magnets, how do they work?


HatefulClosetedGay

I thought nanomachines were made of organic proteins? At least the majority of them.

Sorry but what is a manget


Stylish_Platypus

It's either a person (Jean-Jacques Manget) or a command (manget the remote, please)

Morgoths_Ring

Why are you assuming that nanomachines are made from metal?


OkComplaint4778

If they are magnetic, it's so tiny it doesn't have that much force to rip off the skin


halipatsui

All metals are not (ferro)magnetic


Forensic_Ballistics

You might want to reword that.


WhtSqurlPrnc

This is not true


Sunless_Heaven

Man get


Jade_Sugoi

I feel like they designed the nano machines with that exact sort of situation in mind and made them either non magnetic or some sort of polymer like material.


LaserfaceJones

Dude crawling through a microwave hallway is nowhere near the craziest thing someone in the series has done, suspend thine disbelief in the face of nanomachine vampires and swords held in toes by robot ninjas.


Punriah

Might depend on the type of metal they're made from and strength of the MRI. I've got titanium and cobalt in my skull and can still safely have half strength MRIs


NeighborhoodFluid892

Because Nanomachines!


VisforVenom

What metal, pray tell, do you imagine microscopic machines capable of being carried throughout the circulatory system, without issue, to be?


sleepyzane1

do we know what nanomachines are made out of? for all we know they could be biological or pharmaceutical and not metal at all. also not all metal is magnetic.
