I know this is inspired from the X-Com series... and I
loved it... but I think it's a waste of time and energy
to invent other "Earth standard weapons" when there are
so many cool guns in the real world, even if the action
in the game takes place in the future.

Just make it an option, and see how many like it -
replace the annonymous "assault gun" with a P90 (like
in Stargate series) add M16, AKM, etc, replace the
noname sniper rifle with the H&K PSG1, or M40, and
please include at least one .50 cal weapon - e.g. the
Barret M107 sniper rifle for one shot one kill kind of
occasions. For the shotgun, I would go for the CAWS (it
has automatic fire, too). Pistols are less important
but there are plenty of choices.
For the SF weapons.. it's your choice, or stick with
the X-Com weapons - I liked them much, though I would
skip the crapy laser weapons and stick with the clasic
weapons until plasma guns.
I think none will be upset if there are many weapons to
choose from in the game, especially if those weapons
are well implemented in the game.

There are 2 big problems IMO:
* licencing
* we have no models for these well known weapons
