They are renamed weapons obtainable by just advancing far enough into the future

They are more of an easter egg and purely cosmetic. Since you have to play for a very long time before you even see one.

What if you changed the starting year to 2100? Would that work?

There is a preprocessor macro named THEFUTURE in src/game.cpp; if disactived then the starting year is 2100 else it's the vanilla value (2009).

You will have to recompilate the game though.

The future names of the weapons are in the weapons.xml file in the Art folder.
