Line 43:
* ''[[Entropia Universe]]'', despite being set far in the future, provides players with guns made by Meckel & Loch (a play on Heckler and Koch) and Starkhov (the Starkhov rifles are even [http://www.entropiadirectory.com/w/images/Weapon_starkhov_as-98.jpg clearly patterned after AK-47] and similarly named).
* Some of the weapons in ''[[All Points Bulletin]]'' are fictional, but the barely-modified G36C is named "STAR 556", the H&K USP is named "Obeya FBW", the AK-47 is named "N-TEC 5" and the Desert Eagle is named "ACT 44".
* ''[[Wolf Team]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20121115141547/http://wolfteam.softnyx.net/Guide/Weapon.aspx And how.] AKEI-47, EM-16, EF-2000...
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' allows for Thugs and Dual Pistols players to customize the appearance of their right and left pistols individually. The plainly named "Semi Auto" model is clearly a Desert Eagle clone. They do however use the real names for the Colt Navy, Colt Model 29, and Uzi options.
* ''[[Fallout]] Online'' adds [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Assault_rifle#AKA-47 a weapon] literally called the [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Armageddon_Rag,_Vol._4#Crazy_Ivan.27s_New_and_Used_Guns AKA-47].
Line 57:
** In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' there are even real world firearms with generic names, such as the Assault Carbine (M4), 9mm SMG (M3A1), Battle Rifle/[[Shout-Out|"This Machine"]] (M1 Garand), Service Rifle (Older M16 model), 9mm Pistol (Browning Hi Power), and many more. Lead Designer Josh Sawyer claims this was not for legal reasons, but to allow the in-game weapons to differ functionally and cosmetically from the real thing as needed.
* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' both uses fake names and a couple real ones. The Franchi SPAS 15 is called the Jaegerspaz XV, the Uzi is given the ludicrous pseudonym ''Lassiter Killmatic,'' and the Glock 17 is called the Brokk 17c. Strangely, the Steyr AUG and Colt Anaconda are called by their proper names. The Utica M37 is a pretty clever pseudonym, since it must have taken some actual research on the part of the developers to discover that Utica is a small town in Upstate New York like the actual weapon's hometown of Ithaca.
* While ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' uses entirely fictional weapons, one very, very familiar gun is present: The Ruhm, which is the German MG 34 with a different paint job. For comparison: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120522134515/http://www.wingdamage.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/valkyria-chronicles-dlc.jpg Ruhm]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20070228142120/http://www.smhq.org/history/mg34.jpg MG34].
* The first ''[[Parasite Eve]]'' uses real model numbers, but no manufacturer names and only generic textures.
* Each and every one of Vincent's guns in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' besides his [[Infinity+1 Sword]] has a real life counterpart. In some cases, the names aren't even changed.
