CORRECTIONS:
The iRifle's model is in fact original, the AR2 eventually got its model from the iRifle after it was cut. So it's not that the iRifle took the AR2's model as placeholder, the AR2 went on to take the iRifle's model! Thank you to @scarletcrusader5431 for pointing this out
The Stunstick doesn't always give you 7 HEV suit points. It depends on the difficulty. 15 on Easy, for example.
The Combine Guard did NOT become the Combine Soldier. They both are their own thing.
The Energy Grenade was part of an earlier version of the Houndeyes attack. Sm means small. No code to the models use exists though. (Thank you @TheOneEpicplayer )
The MP7 is more so inspired by the MP7 Prototype of Heckler and Koch, an earlier version of the MP7. Thank you @JackFoxtrotEDM
