** Interesting variation in ''Quantum of Solace'': While the Walther guns and the M14 are referred to by their actual names, a good deal of the rest are named in the form of [[Continuity Nod]]s to previous Bond films. The Glocks are the [[Goldfinger|GF17/GF18]], the M1911 is the [[Casino Royale|CR1911]], and the AKS-74U is the [[From Russia with Love|FRWL]]. [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/007:_Quantum_of_Solace_(VG) More here.]
** ''[[GoldenEye 007 (2010 video game)|Golden Eye Wii]]'' kinda zigzags with this trope; the P99 and WA 2000 (both made by Walther, who apparently has some sort of endorsement deal with the Bond films), as well as the AK-47, are all called by their real names, but every single other gun has an extremely contrived-sounding fake name (for example, the SCAR-H is called the "Kallos-TT9", and the M4 is the "Terralite III").
* ''GoldenEye'''s [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' avoided this by using made-up weapons from the future, but one [[
* ''[[Soldier of Fortune]]'' used lots of obvious real-world guns that were given either flatly descriptive names (such as calling what is clearly a SPAS-12 simply ''the shotgun'') or fake ones, such as "Silver Talon" in lieu of ''Desert Eagle''...
** ''Soldier of Fortune 2'' featured real-life gun names, but the ''Gold Edition'' brought back favorites like 1's 'Silver Talon'.

* The original ''[[Resident Evil]]'' games for the [[PlayStation]] (as well as ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'') featured plenty of real firearms such as Berettas, Colt revolvers, Remington shotguns among other. Once the series started being released on the GameCube, Capcom decided to use generic names for the weapons: the Beretta was replaced by a custom version called the [[Bling Bling Bang|Samurai Edge]] (previously introduced in ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''), while the Colt Python was renamed the "Silver Serpent". A few of the weapons in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' are named after real weapons, such as the TMP, the Red 9 (a variant of the Mauser C96) and the Chicago Typewriter (the nickname for the Thompson submachine gun).
