Saints Row IV is an open world sandbox action game developed by Voltion and published by Deep Silver in 2013. It was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows on August 20th, 2013. It was later remastered for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 20th, 2015. The game takes place in the fictional city of Steelport and continues on from where Saints Row: The Third left off. The protagonist becomes the president of the United States of America after saving the country from a nuclear missile. However, an alien invasion begins soon after and the protagonist is kidnapped and transported to a computer simulation of Steelport where the player must defeat the alien threat.
The following firearms can be seen in the video game Saints Row IV
Handguns
"Quickshot Pistol"
Colt Defender
The 9mm tactical skin for the Quickshot Pistol is based on the Colt Defender. It appears to be a .45 ACP variant, despite the game calling it a 9mm pistol. It can be upgraded to have a larger magazine and armor piercing rounds and can be dual wielded.
Mauser C96
The Renegade skin for the Quickshot Pistol is based on Han Solo's blaster from Star Wars, which in turn is based on the Mauser C96. It can be upgraded to have an extended magazine and fire armor piercing round. The scope is unusable and it can be dual wielded.
Colt 1849 Pocket
The Tombstone Special skin for the Quickshot Pistol is based loosely on the Colt 1849 Pocket. It features two barrels and a cylinder for each barrel, which would make it a very awkward gun to fire.
"Heavy Pistol"
Desert Eagle
The .45 Fletcher skin for the Heavy Pistol is based on the Desert Eagle. It appears to be based on the .50 AE version of the Desert Eagle, despite the game stating that it fires .45 ACP. It can be upgraded to have an extended magazine and fire explosive ammunition. It can also be dual wielded.
Chiappa Rhino 60DS
The Cumia Magnum skin for the Heavy Pistol is based on the Chiappa Rhino 60DS. It features an unusable red dot sight on the barrel. It can be upgraded to have an extended mag (even though it only has 6 chambers) and fire explosive ammunition. It can also be dual wielded.

The Manga 10mm skin for the Rapid Fire SMG is based on the MAC-10. It incorrectly fires 10mm ammunition, it only fires .45 ACP or 9x19mm in real life. It features a suppressor and Picatinny rail. It is missing a charging handle which would make it more than difficult to reload. It can be upgraded to have an extended magazine and to fire "lightning shots" (electric rounds). It can be dual wielded.
Beretta 93R
The Cyborg Pistol skin for the Rapid Fire SMG is based on RoboCop's Auto 9 in RoboCop, which in turn is based on the Beretta 93R. It is a handgun but the game incorrectly classifies it as a sub-machine gun. It can be dual wielded and upgraded tohave an extended magazine and to fire "lightning rounds" (electric rounds).

The "Impulse Rifle" skin is based on the M41A Pulse Rifle, which in turn is built from an M1A1 Thompson submachine gun with an underbarrel Remington 870 shotgun. It has an added vertical foregrip ahead of the magazine housing, presumably to account for one set of animations being used to hold any assault rifle.
Sniper Rifle
AS-50

Winchester Model 1894
The Lever-Action skin for the Sniper Rifle is based on the Winchester Model 1894. The weapon is not modeled with a scope which would make it very difficult to zoom in and out like a sniper scope, but we like to think that the protagonist is skilled enough to do this.
Whitworth Rifle
The Musket skin for the Sniper Rifle appears to be based on the Whitworth Rifle. It sports a long sniper scope.
Machine Guns
M249 SAW Para
The M249 SAW is called the Mercenary LMG in game. It is actually a skin for the Automatic Rifle. It can be upgraded to have an extended magazine.
