* [[AKA-47]]: Completely and notably averted in the novels and games. In ''Rainbow Six'' however, "the new version of the venerable MP-5, chambered instead for the 10-mm Smith & Wesson cartridge" is erroneously referred to as the "MP-10" (actually the MP5/10); there has been [[Internet Backdraft|considerable debate]] regarding this given the usual amount of attention given to these kinds of details, with [[Word of God|Clancy himself saying at one point]] that he had personally seen and shot "the MP-10" (a submachine gun manufactured by an entirely different company, Special Weapons). In ''Dead or Alive'', Rainbow uses the more common MP5SD3 instead of the aforementioned MP5/10.

** Subverted in the opposite direction in ''Rainbow Six''. Failing to use this trope with respect to Popov is what gets Horizon Corp's schemes busted.
