* 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.
* Most guns in ''[[Arkham Horror]]'' go by a very generic name like "rifle" or ".357 magnum". The closest to a real name is the "Tommy Gun", which is a nickname rather than an official designation.
* Like ''GURPS'' above ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'' has a bunch of different generic categories for weapons <ref>holdout/light/heavy/machine pistol, submachine gun, shotgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle grenade launcher and rocket launcher. The Gamemaster's Guide doubles this, mostly by including various crew served weapons that would be common in the World War 2 dominated [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]], but also patching in the noticeably absent service rifle.</ref> which, due to the system being based on comic books that largely did not care about such details unless they had a serious impact on the plot. For the second edition, the Iron Age book (where guns are far more common in the hands of players) there is a section giving real world examples of what real guns falls under what category.
