Just thought I’d make this in case anyone had some thoughts on firearms they’d like to be included, either in the vanilla game or in a mod. Never enough dakka!
I can kick us off: Two variants of the Browning Hi-Power would be cool:
The original M1935 Browning Hi-Power is a fairly common handgun chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum. It’d most likely spawn in civilian homes. It’s got a spacious (especially for the time it was first introduced) thirteen-round magazine.
Then, a fictional Hi-Power variant:
FN M2035 Hi-Power Pro
"This redesign of the classic Browning Hi-Power is chambered for FN’s proprietary 5.7x28mm cartridge."
Basically a “tacticool” version of the Browning Hi-Power in 5.7mm, it would probably have polymer grips, as opposed to the wooden ones of the original, and be slightly more lightweight.
Feel free to chip in with your own suggestions, everyone!
Renaming the AK-47 to the AKM would be good, since the first AK-47 was basically just a prototype.
Why stop at the M1934? It’d be cool to see the M1951, as well.

ak and akm are not different guns?
Just wondering, would it be realistic to make a blackpowder gun that uses an electrical arc to set off the charge? With smokeless gunpowder uncraftable and blackpowder unsuitable for reloading, an electric-powered gun seems like a huge improvement over a flintlock/matchlock, it’d cut down on reloading time and presumably fire harder since there’s no pan for energy to leak out of.
Is there a reason I haven’t thought of to make this a bad idea?
Not sure, but personally I’d think making a percussion cap gun would be far more logical, realistic, and useful. Though I wonder if you can repurpose primers of exactly the right size for that…
I think I’ve found the minigun…once, in a bunker storage. And that’s it.
Anyway…
