The Rift has no effect on the pre-Moon earth. The antichromasic guns are more of seperation of gameplay from storytelling, than them being lazy. Because be honest, if you had the option between recycleing an already made model and having to make a new one from scratch, wouldn't you just cop out on a gun that you have assets for.
