* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'', all guns have generic names like "Assault Rifle" (similar to an HK HK33), "Chinese Assault-Rifle" (a Chinese variant of the AK-101), etc. This is unlike the first two games, which used real names for the real guns mixed in with the fictional weapons.
** 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: [http://www.wingdamage.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/valkyria-chronicles-dlc.jpg Ruhm]; [http://www.smhq.org/history/mg34.jpg MG34].

* 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.
* Every single one of the guns in ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'' is a real weapon, from the Glock pistols to the H&K submachine guns. However, for licensing reasons, the names of every single gun are changed. Glock weapons are now Samael weapons, any Russian weapon is designated UC, including the AK-47, and so on.
