Line 92:
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City]]'' seemed to fall under this as well, with rather generic names for its firearms. GTA 3 and San Andreas were slightly more willing to use assault rifle names, although other weapons were still generic-named (if not generic-shaped). The game extended this trope from the guns to the vehicles, with identifiable [[Real Life|real world]] models given different names.
** ''Vice City'' was actually much like ''III'' and ''San Andreas''' originally in that it did have real names in its first release. It was only after the [[Bowdlerize]]d "Haitian Friendly" version was released that this trope came into play.
* The ''[[Saints Row|Saint's Row]]'' games do this with all of their firearms, but if you look at the weapon closely you can probably identify its real-life counterpart. Most obvious is the AK renamed the "K6 Krukov".
* In ''[[The Godfather (video game)|The Godfather]]'' game almost all weapons have generic descriptors or are [[Named Weapons]] except for maybe the Tommygun and (Colt) "Python".
* ''[[The Saboteur]]'' uses this rather haphazardly. Some weapons are given generic names (like 'silenced pistol' or 'automatic shotgun'), some use fictional names (e.g. 'Raum pistol' for a Mauser C96 or 'Kruger' for Parabellum 08 i.e. 'Luger') some use their popular names ('Tommy Gun') and in some cases the name is left unaltered (MP 40, Panzerschreck).
* ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'' uses both real gun names as well as fake names. You'll see famous and well known guns of the period such as Springfield Rifles and Henry Repeaters. However the M1911 gets the award for ultimate [[Bland-Name Product]] in this game: High Powered Pistol.
