Machamp can launch one attack before he has to stand still and take a hit. He can't even move except on his turn. Woops, he doesn't even have No Guard except as a gameplay mechanic, he's kind of stuck to that mobility issue given that you can't really mix and match what abilities he has based solely on making him stronger without the whole thing being even sillier than it already is.
This whole thing is pretty stupid because it's like allowing RST GANON again. So yeah, you can expect mix-n-matching here.

Machamp.
I'd take him as pretty simply tanking bullets. After all, being slammed by a steelix or even punched by another Machamp would be way worse than being shot by a revolver, and Machamp's capable of taking either of those multiple times and still fighting.
He punches faster than Ocelot shoots, he tanks what Ocelot can shoot better than Ocelot tanking what Machamp deals out, they both aren't missing (and the EM shield is not working on melee, especially shown in Metal Gear Acid 2 where knives and swords still work while bullets get deflected), and Machamp has much less chance of being slow or theatrical in his attempt.
What part of 'hits the brain directly' didn't you get KJH? Machamp's skin isn't a barrier. The bullet bypasses it.
