The weapons themselves I didn't actually choose based on weapons I particularly wanted to see but rather weapons that are iconic to the world. Everyone's heard of the weapons I've listed (minus the flamethrower but I was trying to figure something out for each weapon class). Hence the "Iconics" name. Me putting them under Smokestack was once again just because Smokestack's the only manufacturer that makes weapons that look like past weapons besides Z-Arm Tech.

My idea was more "past weapons" instead of western weapons. Smokestack may have been a bad choice since they are known for their Western style.
