Okay... so borderlands

2. Implant miniature bullet-morphing gnome.

3. Standardize shell production specifications.

4. ???

5. PROFIT!

Magic! This is also the world where all million or so guns have names... explain how that happens when there are no manufacturers around.

You see first the shell is shot via spring into a portal to Narnia where the goatmen hammer it into different bullets which are then fused with the flux capacitor and travels to the 40s and gets made into another type of shell by the proud dwarves of Middle Earth who then drop the bullets down the Stairway to Heaven where they get hit with musical notes to change their shape. (I'm really enjoying this) Eventually they drop into the Durance of Hate (Level 2) where they get sent to the realm of oblivion via the gate. In oblivion, Ekans chomps them into different shapes and sizes. After that they are spit back into the picture of the bom-ombs and gradually slide down the spiral mountian into the shotgun which falls through the orange portal back into the hands of the person firing the gun.

(Cookies to those who name EVERY reference)

The Chronicles Of Narnia. Back To The Future. Lord Of The Rings. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Diablo 2. Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Pokemon. Super Mario 64. Portal.

Give me my fucking cookie.

You, sir, have earned these cookies.

Then what are: Dahl, Atlas, Jakobs, ect.?

That one isn't so bad. The one that makes me scratch my head is when you increase the ammo capacity of a revolver, yet it still only has like 6 chambers, instead of changing visibly as you increase the number of bullets it can hold. So I fire 6 times, and then continue to fire, even though all bullets should technically be gone according to my weapon's physical design. Owell, it's a game.

Each chamber now holds 2(or three or four) bullets, fired separately.

"I know what you're thinking, did I fire five bullets or six? It doesn't matter, I have 18."

Is it the same gnome that reloads guns in counterstrike...?

Who cares, they look cool and go BANG

Real Answer:
Shells are actually solid metal slugs. Shotgun chamber has cheese greater like obstruction before barrel that causes the slug to slice into a certain number of pellets.

Bam.

Nice one.

I can't believe I missed the chance to make such an obvious joke (it was going through my mind, but I just didn't do it). Well played, that's brilliant, and your outlandish explanation is hilarious.

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that these guns seem to be constantly manufactured without any semblance of a structure to do so. Even if they left after making all of the guns in the game, that would still mean that there would be piles of weapons left unused. There aren't that many people in Borderlands.

Same could be said for things IRL. We don't need newer guns being made because of any good reason.

Bam.

Hmmm a game called Metal Slug Solid. You play as Solid Slug, and you have to stop Liquid Slug.

The manufacturers aren't on pandora.

 

[Harkwell]

okay... let me get out my borderlands guide book (yes, I still use guidebooks)...

After looking at all the different effects, you could explain that the elemental effects are caused by coatings on the bullets (could be applied inside the gun and work for all 4 elements).
