If you look close at Dottie, Kaylee and Olga you'll see, "Laconic Arms" laser etched on the lower.
This is from a game world I created.
We played a lot of what we called "Nexus Worlds". These are places where dimensions all meet and all manner of things are possible. Our model basically had the nexus as a sort of grand central station with gates out to the interesting places the players would adventure in.
Kiosks and shops sprouted in such a place to supply the steady stream of adventurers and outsiders.
Laconic Arms was a business in one such nexus, though the players never learned the name. They were basically a used gun shop having only what was brought in from other worlds. The only thing they actually made was ammo.
Across the aisle was Waffen Zauberkunst und Munitionwerk am Nexus. They actually made guns. Clones of the German K.98, G.43 and FG.42 and modified clones that took different cartridges and magazines. What WZM doesn't carry is anything Soviet, the founder was a refugee from the Eastern Front and didn't care for the Russians for some obscure reason...
A spiffy feature of the detachable magazine WZM guns was a swappable mag-well. Because supplies of things like magazines were reliant on finding them through the gateways, being able to use any .308 magazine in your FG.42/70F was handy. The F model, for example had a specific mag made by WZM and you could swap out the magwell for one that took one of FAL, G3 or M14.
Another interesting product I introduced in another world was the M1 Dean assault rifle. It was chambered in .280 British and was generally like an FG.42 in layout. Of note was the 25 round magazine. In real life I gravitated to a ballistically similar round (6.8 SPC) that commonly uses a 25 round magazine. The Dean is from a world where a gateway to an alternate world is discovered in Zaire in the early '70's. In this alternate earth, dinosaurs didn't die off like in our world. They didn't persist any better than mammalian mega-fauna; but the human analog is dino-based. The Dean is from a group of settlers who are fed up with the whole New World Order thing and starting over someplace virgin.
