Well in the FPS thing, the people who want all the guns to be totally real frighten me because, well, why on EARTH would they be so persistant that they are using weapons one can get in the real world too? It's very unsettling...
The thing is, even if it's war based at first, it always ends up progressing to real world usage. I mean, the internet was designed for a war purpose, but it ended up being twisted into a common day utility. It's the same with most great inventions we use in our everyday lives. We have mankind's hatred to each other to thank for modern convenience.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
