If you watch the video he says he's not interested in suing, thinks it's cool, and would have given both permission and advice if they'd asked.
It's very common for games to copy guns and just give them a new name. Every other shooter these days has a Kriss Vector or an HK MP7.
I'd assume as long as you don't use the trademarked names/logos there's not much the manufacturer can do.
See Goldeneye from 1997 which renamed the FN P90 to RC-P90 amongst a whole slew of other guns. Perfect Dark did similar things including also having the FN P90 but now named RC-P45 in addition to the RC-P120.
Timesplitters 2 also did this with the SBP90.
I miss those games, and when the companies that made them were still those companies. The second Perfect Dark did not deserve to be a sequel to the first which was itself the spiritual successor of Goldeneye, just with everything dialed up to 12 with added bots for pve multiplayer mode.
IRRC that thing had a massive magazine but took ages to get through it. Gimme the K7 Avenger or death! Said death probably being quite soon since the K7 only had 25 shots per mag 😬
