Fallout 3
The following guns were seen used in this post apocalyptic world. Most were just based from REAL life guns. No blasters or plasma rifles, or dart guns.
AK - "Chinese Assault Rifle"
One of the more powerful ARs in the game, but also not the most accurate. This rifle seems to be based on several AK variants. In the game, it was designed and manufactured by Chinese industrial conglomerate Norinco for the People's Liberation Army during the Resource Wars. This AK fires 5.56 NATO. It has the overall appearance of the AK family of weapons, specifically the AK-107 assault rifle (barrel, muzzle brake, gas tube, front sight), but also it is like the RPD machine gun (front handguard, possibly rear sight) and also the Type 56-II assault rifle, of actual Chinese production, although only for export, the metallic folding frame stock.
R91 Assault Rifle
An H&K G3 based assault rifle. The number in the name obviously references the H&K 91, and cosmeticlly, it looks like the Spanish CETME rifles, but the biggest thing is that, in game, this assault rifle firest 5.56 NATO like the AK in the game. Or it could have been modeled after the CETME B or L model which are chambered in 5.56. Ingame wise, the most likely reason for the same ammo as the AK was to not worry about different types of ammo for 2 assault rifles that are so common in the game.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
This was more of a reference to the Road Warrior movie since it has a scope attached to it. In the game it fires, accurately, the .44 Magnum. An unscoped version is used be the mysterious stranger if you get the perk that features him. The unscoped version cannot be acquired without a cheat or something.
Shansei C96 Chinese Pistols
As the name implies, this is based on the Mauser C96 pistol, specificlly, the chinese version.
Sawed off Double Barrel shotgun
The second type of shotgun that can be used in game. Another Road Warrior reference.
10mm SMG
The only submachinegun in the game, and it's outward appearance almost seems like it is based on the MP5K without the foregrip and a more boxy looking upper reciever.
Sniper rifle
Several verisons of the same design is used in the game. It's hard to tell what this rifle was based after if one at all, but it fires .308 rounds.
Combat Shotgun
This fictional shotgun has an overall appearence of the PPSh-41 from the fire selector switch located inside the trigger guard, the barrel's protruding muzzle-brake and the drum magazine. The way the reloading procedure is operated also points to the real PPSh-41, but this weapon acts more like an Armsel Striker shotgun
.32 Hunting Rifle
It is a Mauser-type bolt-action rifle, and resembles such the Remington 700 and Winchester 70 series. It uses the .32 Caliber Round. It is interesting to note that while this is a very accurate weapon, the in-game weapon model does not have rear or front sights, nor does it have a scope. In reality, this would make the weapon extremely difficult to aim at longer ranges and would render it almost totally worthless beyond close-range encounters, even to a skilled marksman. Caliber may refer to the 8x57 mauser round, which is .32 caliber, or less likely, the .32 winchester special and .32-20, both usually levergun calibers.
Lincoln's Repeater
Ok, this weapon, althought named Lincoln's Repeater was obviously intended to be based off of Lincoln's Spencer rifle, but the design of this rifle ingame, and how it was loaded is that of a Henry rifle, 15 rounds of a .44 caliber black powder cartridge rimfire rifle or the .44 Henry round. This rifle also has a wooden handguard in front, very similar to a Winchester Model 1866. And it is possible to modify the rifle to fire .44 Magnum rounds, but it was more a thing in the game so that you can find a semi-commong ammo type that can be found in the game than anything else. Despite what the creators had intended, they got their rifles mixed up when they called this rifle "Lincoln's Repeater".
This rifle is intented to be the Lincoln's Henry Rifle, offered to President Abraham Lincoln, with golden ornaments, but the rifle has in the game a wooden handguard on the forend similar to the Winchester 1866.

10mm Pistol
"Now, I'm not quite sure, but I do believe that the 10mm pistol is basically a dressed up IMI Desert Eagle. You can tell by the grip, and serrated end of the slide that it is the Desert Eagle. Can someone verify this?"
The back end Sights, Hammer, slide and grip is definitely Desert Eagle. However the Barrel and front of the Gun is similar to the Dan Wesson PPC revolvers, having an enlarge front that is weighed down to reduce recoil. as well of having a metal cannister like tube underneath the barrel. It looks like Betheseda's idea of what IMI's future designs would have looked like.
Ruger Blackhawk
Special .44 magnum earned by completing "Agatha's Quest." Equipped with a scope. Called Blackhawk, but looks somewhat like a Redhawk. Actually looks like a hybrid, with Blackhawk frame and Redhawk style double-action grip.
Ruger SP-101
While not usable, it appears on the collectible "Guns and Bullets" magazine. Clearly seen during loading sequences.
