What kind of future gun is this? Doesn't even have iron sights.
What kind of future gun is this? Doesn't even have iron sights

A mini and a M37 after a trip to the prop room. Rule of cool. The M41A from the Aliens franchise is a thompson with an 870 underneath.
Austin Harris
How the hell do they aim these then?
Mason Bailey
>what are the technicalities of a work of future space fiction
Land Warrior and a HUD.
Nicholas Bell
Fun fact: The prop helmet all had clear visors on them. They got rid of them because they obscured the view of the actor's eyes and caused dust and light reflection problems.
William Gomez
Dude in the middle has a scope.
Adam Morales
Who needs sights when the aliens are arm's length away
Blake Hughes
They were shooting giant bugs at close range. Don't look too closely into a stoner movie.
Joseph Hall
looks like an illuminator to me
Luis Murphy
Looks like fucking Nerf to me
Lucas Perry
The powered suit takes care of the targeting....
Sebastian Watson
When the standard strategy is to send 500 guys to the planets surface grouped up arm to arm and hip-firing, I don't think they had time to invest in iron sights.
Aiden Reed
It was on purpose by the movie director to show that the humans were as mindless as the bugs they were fighting.
Jackson Cruz
Not having iron sights is the future, dummy
Jacob Sanders
Actually the original costume for the soldiers had a fancy helmet visor with a HUD but that turned out to be too flimsy on the actual costume so they just kinda scrapped that.
Jaxon Stewart
you don't.
Apparently, the gubbermint don't see nuffin wrong with 8 jarheads each emptying half a mag into a single bug to bring it down, when the bugs have something like 100-1 numerical advantage.
Levi Sanchez
That never made sense to me, in the book they where armed to the teeth.
Nolan Young
Verhoeven didn't read it.
Aaron Walker
>870
Nigga that was a SPAS-12 heat shield
Carson Clark
Right, on an 870. The heat shield was just external fluff.
Ryder Bennett
At the start of the movie it took a massive hail of shots from a dozen rifles to bring down one enemy. At the end of the movie the same gun, alone and with just a couple of shots, could bring down an alien of the same size.
John Wood
He gave up half way through the book and had screenwriter write him a synopsis. Getting rid of power armors was simply due to budget reasons. Too expensive to make a lot of convincing props.
M870's and bunch of SPAS-12 spare parts (fore arms/slides and heat shields) were cheaper than chopping up bunch of SPAS-12's for movie props, even for functional hero props.
John Adams
Just aim for the nervestem.
Nicholas Wood
You do more damage once you’ve framed enough small bugs and raise your player level
Austin Hughes
Fivelets, damn you.
