The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Thompson M1A1, if I could place a PR shell around it. As a stock rife either the L85 (it was used in the Sulaco weapons racks) or something like this G36:

If we could, it'd be an M1A1 with a Remington 870 for Pulse Rifles, MG42 for SmartGuns and an Ithaca 37, VP70 or a S&W pistol for the individual variants.

However, the operative word is 'could'....
The UK Colonial Marines' rules & regs state that we don't carry blank-firing weapons on Drops.

Another added problem is that the heat of the weapons discharging would likely melt the shrouds and furnishings of the Pulse Rifles. We'd need all-metal furnishings, including shrouds.
