{{quote|''The TMP is actually an MP 9. We incorrectly labelled it as such when the weapon was being modelled, and some gun-nerd got pissed off about it. [[Trolling Creator|So we kept it known as a TMP.]]''|''James'', developer of ''[[Cry of Fear]]''}}

 

 

The reason appears to be avoiding potential lawsuits from the manufacturers of said firearms; it's a lot easier to prove a trademark infringement over a name than over the unique likeness of a weapon, and many companies haven't trademarked the latter anyway. There's also the issue of editorial control; much as car companies used to dictate that vehicles in videogames could not be shown crashing or being damaged (they just hit things and stopped), gun companies could potentially demand their weapons only be shown in certain situations as a requirement for inclusion of their trademarks.

* Used in the ''[[GURPS]]'' Basic Set. All guns are given a basic descriptive name such as "Auto Pistol, 9mm" or "Assault Carbine, 5.56mm". However this isn't meant to be so much deceptive as it is generic and they later gave statistics to dozens of real life firearms.
