* '''Zig Zagged''': Which weapons Bob can carry and which he can't seem to be rather arbitrary, thanks to a bug which means some count towards the limit and some don't.

* '''Implied''': The PlayerCharacter is Alice the medic (who can't legally carry weapons, [[ImprobableWeaponUser aside from her medical equipment]]). Bob and the other marines are never shown using more than two different weapons at once, implying this trope applies to them.

* '''Played For Drama''': Despite its name ''Generic Space Marine Shooter 2000'' is a SurvivalHorror game. The player has to plan ahead and choose their weapons carefully, lest they meet something which can NoSell their attacks.
