''Alliance of Valiant Arms'' has examples of:
* [[AKA -47]]: Subverted; while most of the weapons use names pretty much the same as their real-world counterparts, there are upgraded versions available that will often have a "MK.3" designation tacked on the end to denote their superiority to the vanilla versions. There's also a few weapons that play this trope straight; the "Remington R4" for example is in fact a Remington R5 RGP; an M4-like assault rifle that uses a gas-piston system instead of the M4's direct impingement system.▼

* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: The game is free to download and play, but there are two types of in-game currency; 'Euros' which you earn by winning matches and completing assorted challenges and such, and 'G-Coins', which you have to purchase using real-world money. Some weapons and equipment are only purchasable with G-Coin funds.
* [[Banned in China|Banned In Some Places]]: The game is only available in some regions, and regions where the game -is- available have some of the weapons unavailable, such as the US and Europe.
* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: There are versions of various weapons in the game with rather flashy custom paint jobs which are meant to be highly upgraded, modified versions of their normal counterparts.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Shots to the head deal extra damage and are a one-shot kill with sniper rifles. Even has a special icon on the kill feed when a player scores one, regardless of what weapon they were using to do it.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: You can buy parts and accessories for your weapons to increase their combat effectiveness as well as body armor & other gear to improve your survivability.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Throwing a grenade will automatically make the player-character shout that they're doing just that.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Cold Sniper]]: The Sniper class, naturally. Any other class can get in on this too by grabbing weapons from slain Snipers.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: A subtle example; the NRF faction wear uniforms with shades of blue, grey, and other 'cold' colors while the EU faction have green, tan, and other more 'earthy' colors to their uniforms.
* [[Do Not Run Withwith a Gun]]: Subverted; trying to shoot your weapon while sprinting ''will'' fire your weapon, but will immediately put you back into the normal walking pace.
* [[Friendly Fireproof]]: Friendly fire is disabled by default. Comes in handy when you're hammering away at an enemy and one of your buddies carelessly strays into your field of fire.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: The Korean version of the game has several secondary weapons that can be wielded in this fashion, namely the Steyr TMP and the Barbatos version of the Beretta 92FS pistol.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: The Python 357 revolver is the most powerful pistol in the game; even moreso than the [[Hand Cannon|Desert Eagle]].
* [[Russians With Rusting Rockets]]: The Neo Russian Federation faction; a near-future Russia under a new Communist regime engaging in an expansionist campaign against their European neighbors.
* [[Short -Range Shotgun]]: The shotguns available to the Pointman class are incredibly devastating up close, but their damage drops off significantly as the range to the target increases.
* [[Shout -Out]]: One of the weapons, the "Winchester M1887S" shotgun, is an obvious reference to the weapon carried by [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] in ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day''. Not only does it have the [[Sawed -Off Shotgun|sawed-off]] barrel & stock, but the player-character even flip-cocks it just like the titular robot from the film.
* [[Standard FPS Guns]]: Pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, hand grenades, rocket launchers, and sniper rifles.
* [[Tank Goodness]]: The "Escort" game mode has the European Union faction escorting a Leopard 2A6 tank from one end of the map to the other. Players can even man the machine gun mounted atop the tank to lay down suppressing fire on the NRF faction. The NRF's objective is to delay the tank's advance for as long as possible, using RPG-7 rocket launchers to disable it.
* [[Throw -Away Guns]]: The player can grab a dropped weapon at any time during gameplay, though this of course involves the player throwing aside the weapon they're presently using.
* [[Translation Convention]]: The European Union faction, despite what the name implies, all speak English with either British or American accents. Averted with the NRF, who all speak Russian.
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: The backstory for the game (which was released in 2007) states that the in-game conflict was the result of the Soviet Union reforming and engaging in an expansionist military campaign in 2009.
