I think it more accurate to say in those cases that the line has mostly "close enough" looking guns, but they're still all sci-fied up and are only only "real looking" to those that don't really know what a real gun would look like.

But either way, it's not a new issue for Hasbro anymore than it is for McFarlane.

It's also clearly character based with Marvel as well. They can sneak a few out with say Punisher, but a Spider-Man is never going to come with anything anywhere near realistic. Even Deadpool often has "NERF" guns.
