"Gunmetal" comes in many shades, depending on the manufacturer.

For my Japanese corporate mercenaries, I used an aluminum colour from
one of
those cheap hobby store brands.

Most of my gunmetal guns have been Tamiya paint. These tend to be a very
dark
metallic grey.

Testors acrylics have a gunmetal, but it's mostly a dark metallic
blue/black/grey.
