They all have the same general attributes and actions, but they look different. This will probably be the parallel of that - very little different look for each weapon type (maybe just tint, size, mass, length), different attributes (strength, ammo, capacity, range, splash damage).

Yeah, there might be over 650,000 distinct looking weapons, but all you would need to do to make one weapon distinct from itself would be to slightly modify the stock, or let it hold more ammo. It will still boil down to the basic weapon types: pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, SMG, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and maybe some extras. I don't doubt that creating the code that could procedurally generate all these distinct weapons is an accomplishment, I just don't think that gameplay-wise, it is really going to change much.
