They are normal mapped.

Like u said the weapons do have a lot of polygonal detail, but as us can clearly see in the screens that the textures has normal map detail for metal grain, and some other physical elements down the barrels.

A normal map doesn't necessarily have to show any additional to be useful, it could simply be used to provide a far better representation of surface smoothing.
