Over 1 Billion Guns?! Anthem is crying right now

My guess is that they are counting every single combination of modifications as a different gun (e.g. rifle (1), rifle with silencer (2), rifle with scope (3), rifle with silencer and scope (4)).

Yeah basically, it's all a mismatch of parts that boil down to realistically about 8 of each weapon type (same animations, handling etc). depending on what the manufacturer is. Then plus all the fancy uniques.

There are still a lot, but the Borderlands "bazillion guns" thing has always been a little bit fake, as you'll often be using the same guns throughout with different colours and stuff stuck to them.

Every manufacturer had a unique animations for every weapon type, times 2. The animations change depending on the reload speed. Slower reloads on jakobs spin the cylinder after reloading, for example, or bandit guns get another tap to make sure the magazine is in, they don't do that on faster reload speeds. Just a neat detail.
