Our Destiny database is nearly finished! While looking through it, I found some interesting weapons, each with a similar description.

‘Crucible Weapons’
In the coming expansions, it looks like we’ll be able to earn new weapons exclusively through Crucible matches. The following are Crucible weapons manufactures:
As you can see, they all have their own (common) emblem, which can be bought from the Guardian Outfitter.
Each of these manufactures has Rare quality level 40 weapons, as well as Legendary quality level 100 weapons. Each of these weapons will have many different upgrade possibilities that are chosen randomly for you.
Some of the weapons include…
A rapid-action Suros firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible.
A long range Häkke firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible.
A devastating Crux/Lomar launcher, earned through glory in the Crucible.
Currently there’s over 40 different Crucible-specific weapons: 36 primary, 17 special, and 9 heavy.
There’s also rare weapons “Commissioned by Lord Shaxx.”

It’s interesting that each manufacture has an easy-to-acquire emblem. This leads me to believe that to have a chance at earning one of these weapons, you’ll need to be representing the gun creator via wearing their emblem.
Each of the emblems are sold for only a small amount of Glimmer from the Guardian Outfitter, so basically everyone will be able to easily buy one these.
My guess is that the Rare, quality level 40 weapons, will be introduced in the Dark Below. I think the Legendary, quality level 100 weapons, will be introduced in the House of Wolves.
Do you think it’ll be as simple as equipping the emblem to have a chance at winning a weapon from that manufacturer? Or will there be a bigger event to go along with this?

We know hardly anything about these weapon manufactures, but the Grimoire does briefly mention Suros and Tex Mechanica.
Suros
Suros engineers designed the Regime using recovered Golden Age schematics. Forced out of production by a crippling shortage of smartmatter, the few remaining models are cherished by those Guardians fortunate enough to wield them.
Tex Mechanica
[…] not going to fix Crucible fights for you idiots just to make your Tex Mechanica junk look good.

/ Nothing. We’re secure.
/ We’d better be.
/ Calm down. Whole district’s been deserted ever since the Gap. Nobody’s here.
/ Except us. Why’d he make us come out here?
/ Secrecy. I don’t know. He’s our man on the inside; so we humor him. It’s just the quiet making you jump. Help me get this screen set up?
/ It feels criminal.
/ I got word from the Consensus says it’s not.
/ You know what I mean. Maybe it’s not against any law. But it’s messing with the Tower. It feels –
/ Dangerous?
/ Wrong.
/ So go home.
/ Yeah, you’d like that, wouldn’t you? You take the credit, get promoted to Division Head, I’m stuck –
/ So stay. OK. Think it’s working now.
/ Nothing on screen. Do we have a signal?
/ No. Sha – the contact said at 6 sharp.
/ Then he’s late. If he dragged us out here for nothing –
/ Yeah? What are you going to do to him, exactly?
/ Let’s just –
/ We have a signal! OK, here it comes.
/ Static.
/ There –
/ That’s not –
/ You’re not Sha –
/ 99-40. Arcite. Are you Modris Wyndham and Sya Droysen, of the Tex Mechanica Foundry West District?
/ Yes –
/ My owner has instructed me to give you the following message: I don’t have time for lowlife dregs like you. You disgust me.
/ But –
/ My owner has instructed me to continue: Sit down and let the frame talk. I know your type. City bigshots. You can show some damn –
/ Listen –
/ respect. Now listen. I got your message. The answer is no. I’m –
/ But –
/ not going to fix Crucible fights for you idiots just to make your Tex Mechanica junk look good. Do you –
/ Now I wouldn’t put it quite like that –
/ think you’re the first dregs dumb enough to try to buy me? Why do you people think you can buy me? Don’t I have an honest face? Do I look like I need your money? The Crucible is sacred, that’s what you people don’t understand, like you think it’s a game. Now –
/ Damn.
/ this is the part where you start blustering at my little buddy here and telling him it’s all legal down in the City, just business, just sponsorship. So listen: I can have ten Titans crashing through your ceiling any time I like and you can tell them it’s just business.
/ Damn.
/ Or we can talk about how you’re going to make this up to me.
/ Ah.
/ My little buddy’s listening. Make him an offer.[/toggle]
