'''Basic Trope''': A real gun is called by its own fictional name.
* '''Straight''': ''Trope Squad'' has a gun that looks remarkably like an [=M4A1=] yet it's called as an ACT-57/Assault Rifle.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Every weapon in the entire game looks like the real thing, down to actual weapon specs in real life yet they still carry fictional/generic names.
** The Su-27 is called the [=ACT-57bis=] Sturmovik
** The gun that looks like an [=M4A1=] is called the ''Excalibur'', and yet despite having a legendary name, it's just an ordinary [=M4A1=] and it functions like one.
* '''Downplayed''':
** The [=M4A1=] is labeled as simply an M4, or just as a generic "Assault Rifle".
** The [=M4A1=] uses an [[TruthInTelevision obscure alternate designation from real life.]]
** The [=M4A1=] is labeled as the [=M4A1X=] because it is an enhanced version of the assault rifle and the X was also added because XMakesAnythingCool.
* '''Justified''':
** ''Trope Squad'' takes place in an alternate timeline in which the name may have been changed.
** The eponymous Squad are a mercenary outfit which could only afford to outfit themselves with unlicensed third-party copies, whose designations have been changed to avoid legal complications.
** ''Trope Squad'' is a scifi-action show set in the future. The guns are simply newer, more advanced models of the same series of firearms.
** Sturmovik, Harnikosk and Tsiolkovsky are ReportingNames assigned to the guns in question.
* '''Inverted''': A futuristic weapon is called the same as an actual [=M4A1=].
* '''Subverted''':
** The ACT-57 looks like an [=M4A1=] but it has significant differences compared to the actual weapon.
** ''ACT-57/Assault Rifle'' is a (subsection of a) legal framework/standard that in common parlance is used to refer to standard compliant weapons.[[note]]meaning that while [=M4A1s=] are ACT-57/Assault Rifles, not all ACT-57/Assault Rifles are [=M4A1s=][[/note]]
** [[ICallItVera Sturmikov is that particular Su-27's name of affection]], not its type name.
* '''Double Subverted''': The [=M4A1=] exists in the game as itself while the ACT-57 is a weapon modified by a third-party brand in-universe.
* '''Parodied''': Soldiers actually get weapons confused for their different names. HilarityEnsues.
** The fictional names are barely different from the actual weapons and purposely invoke their real-life counterparts: AK-46 +1, Desert Falcon, Mock pistol, the Timmy Gun, etc.
** The guns are all given similar-sounding names that are well-known in real life, but do not actually belong to weapons: MP 3 SMG, a Sherlock and Watson handgun, CD plastic explosive, Desert Rose, AREA-51 assault rifle, etc.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Some weapons are actually called by their real names but some are labeled with fictional ones.
* '''Averted''': The [=M4A1=] is actually called the [=M4A1=].
* '''Enforced''':
** The developers could not get the license from Colt Defense to use the actual name, forcing them to use a made up name. They kept it after the courts ruled that "[=M4A1=]" is a military designation and thus couldn't be trademarked as the ACT-57 became a distinctive part of the franchise's identity.
** The developers want to homage all the firearms with a special place in the modern imagination, but also want room to alter and re-balance them for better gameplay.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Can't we ever use the real names of these guns instead of made up ones?"
* '''Invoked''': "I think 'ACT-57' sounds way cooler than '[=M4A1=]'."
* '''Exploited''': "Calling it the ACT-57 could catch our enemies off guard."
* '''Defied''': "No fancy names for this, just call it the [=M4A1=], please?"
* '''Discussed''': "I've seen this happen in way too many games and movies, I'd rather call it the real name."
* '''Conversed''': "This is like that movie how they called this the [=M4A1=] when it's really an ACT-57, priceless..."
* '''Played For Drama''': The makers of the ACT-57 are noted to be in legal trouble over making blatant unlicensed copies of the [=M4A1=].
* '''Played For Laughs ''': The ACT-57 gets renamed to something silly.
* '''Deconstructed ''': The ACT-57 is so heavily modified from its inspiration to avoid copyright that it is almost unrecognizable. Being so alien-looking, players don't use it.
* '''Reconstructed''': Being so strange and distinctive works in the ACT-57's favor, becoming a recognizable part of the franchise.

Back to AKA47, we couldn't get the rights from Kalashnikov so we had to call it that.
