Fallout – Does every weapon have a unique equivalent

fallout-new-vegas

In Fallout New Vegas there are many "unique" variants of normal weapons, for example the All-American is the unique Marksman Carbine and the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle is the unique variant of the Sniper Rifle. My question is: is there a unique equivalent for every non-special weapon in the game? I've found many unique variants, but I'm wondering if one exists for every weapon.
