well it would be tough to boycott cybergun, since they hold the licenses to many guns, and if a game features their gun under their control, like in CoD Cybergun gets paid a cut. I'm pretty sure I saw their name int he CoD credits before.
Umarex gets the same deal, this is why they went around buying up licenses from the gun companies for the likeness usage rights I imagine... they saw profit in it, and all they need to do is go to a company like FNH and say "hey, everyone wants to use a likeness of your product in their thing, and you don't have a legal team or department to deal with that, how's about our company take care of that for you. We negotiate the deal to use your stuff, you get paid, we take a cut."
IT's the same for vehicles too... ever look in the credits of a game like Ace Combat? All the plane manufacturers are listed there, logos and full deal... it's because they get paid a cut in licensing fees.
