they are all categorized differently. Each Nation have a different system. in the US they start with a letter Usually describing the weapon. Such as M=military AR=assault rifle LMG=Light machine gun AA=Automatic Assault ect. then follows the model number. Example M-16 would be the military rifle and its the 16th design. not all designs are excepted. that's why you have a gap between numbers.

other nations put manufacture name in front of the number.

Other Abbreviations:

AK= automatic Kalahnikov

TAR= Tactical Assult rifle

SCAR= Special Forces Combat Assault Rifle

CV= Combat Vehicle

F= Fighter designation

FV= Fighting Vehicle

ICBM= InterContinental Ballistic Missile

RPG= Rocket Propelled Grenade

SA= Surface-to-Air
