Should this including examples that replace with a generic name such as shotgun or SMG because lots of people are linking to this page for this.

Seconded. Seems pointless to include them to me, especially with such a pissy tone (how exactly is it inaccurate, misleading, or in any way negative to refer to a SPAS-12 as a "shotgun"?)

If they're actually making up names for them, then it's a reasonable subtrope of Bland-Name Product. Otherwise, it's not really anything (except, of course, a chance for gun nerds to show off that they recognise what model that particular shotgun was based on).

aaargh! Just looking at the SUPPOSED reason for aka 47 just makes me feel like someone should('ve) interrogated the developers over why! Or even developers admitting why they did.

P.S yes, tropes are messing me up.

Does anyone have any idea whether internal military designations (M16A4, L85A2 and so on) can actually be trademarked?

Of course, the topic top quote and the 'geek' got it wrong, anyway.

Steyr TMP was the original designation of what was rebranded and refined to become Brugger & Thomét MP 9 after Steyr sold the patents, molds and the kaboodle to the Swiss.

Why does AK 47 redirect here? AK 47 is the name of a real gun. This trope is about fake guns. Does not compute.

Yeah, let me test something:

AK 47

Yeah, see that? Anytime you want to just write AK 47 it will blue link which means we're getting wicks in places where the context don't make so much sense e.g. Orville from Jackie Brown actually talking about AK-47's.
