I tend to make up weapon names, as most of my stories are set in alternate worlds or future settings, and I make tons of references with the names of the guns and bullets. For instance, the one I'm working on now, the story for my pipe dream video game, I've made up the following:
The K68 self-loading pistol, chambered in .40 Charlton
The Calypso 1931 Battle Rifle, firing the 6.35mm Rio
Charles and Boyle assault rifle
Marian 12 gauge shotgun
QED .22 pistol
See if you can recognize the references.
