Well that weapon was just an example because it's the most recent bit of shit TVN translation.

If it is sentient and directly identifies itself as something, I'll give you that, it's a name. But if it's just a giant robot the model of robot is not a name.

Take the Voltasaurs for example, voltasaur is what Gabutyra is, its the identifier for the object so whether or not that translation is made up, it should be translated. But as Gabutyra is what the individual Voltasaur identifies itself as, that is its name and should be left alone.
