If you think Tesla Generator is wrong then the Reactor is also wrong because the last time I walked next to it I didn't die of radiation.

+ Blaster should be called: Energy Pistol
+ Rifle should be called: SMG (Since it's so weak and short - Doesn't even look like a Carbine)
+ Painsaw should be called: Energy Saw/Electric Saw
+ Lasgun should be called: Pulse Rifle (Since it shoots out Pulses not Lasers - Lasers are actually invisible and are long. Only cutting lasers have a nice ruby red color)
+ Massdriver should be called: CM Rifle (CM stands for Compressed Mass - Which explains it doesn't have the mass of a Lucifer Cannon)
+ Chaingun should be called: Spray 'n' Pray Gun
+ Pulse Rifle should be called: Lasgun or Laser Rifle
+ Flame Thrower should be called: Flamer (It doesn't really throw flames at your enemy - It could also be called a Self Immolator - It's very easy to burn yourself)
+ Lucifer Cannon should be called: EM Cannon (EM stands for Extreme Mass)
+ Battery Pack should be called: Spare AA Batteries

+ Medistations are more like MediPads
+ Repeaters are more like Mini Energy Towers
+ Armouries are more like High school kids Lockers'
+ Telenodes are more like Teleporters
+ Turrets are more like guns with no ammo
+ Tesla Generators are more like Energy Zapping Towers
+ Dretches are more like Giant Spiders
+ Grangers are more like Mini Alien Tanks
+ Tyrants are like Horses merged with Spider and Fish head.
+ Acid tubes are more like Mini Acid Volcanoes (And the last time I checked acid is clear not green)
+ Barricades are more like Trees with slime.

So not everything is perfect for this game....well at least its fun.  ;D

The vast majority of your suggestions were worse than the original or at best just as bad.

Blaster may not make a 'blast' (explosion) but the word has come to refer to such guns in sci-fi.

Rifle technically should involve 'rifling' (grooves on the inside of the barrel which cause the projectile to spin). We don't know whether the trem gun has this but clearly it fails to be as accurate as a rifle should be. A carbine is traditionally a shortened rifle and an SMG is an automatic carbine which is designed to fire pistol cartridges, making your SMG suggestion sound sensible but your reason sound stupid.

Painsaw causes pain and looks like a saw, what more do you want?

Lasgun uses pulses of what we can assume is laser light. Your explanation is nonsense with the tone of somebody who thinks they have a clue. Laser light is just light which has been guided into a coherent, narrow beam.

Massdriver we've been over. Chaingun is only "spray 'n' pray" if you're doing it wrong. Pulse rifle should be... you think THAT'S a laser weapon? Maybe if we learned about lasers in jedi academy..

I think I've said enough. You didn't even try with the rest.
