	The Pulse Rifle was constructed from an [[M1A1 Thompson]] submachine gun fitted with a cut-down [[Remington 870]] shotgun with the heat shield and foregrip of a [[Franchi SPAS-12]] covering it, although only one weapon used on the production had a functioning shotgun unit. The weapon was finished with a custom-made futuristic aluminum shell painted in "Brown Bess" paint, although due to the predominantly blue on-set lighting in the film the weapons often appear olive green on screen. Following the production, all but one of the Pulse Rifles (the "hero" rifle with the functioning shotgun unit) were broken down - the surviving gun was reused in the filming of ''[[Alien³]]'' several years later.

	The pistol was referred to as the '''M4A3''' in the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual''. It was supposed to be a 10mm cased-ammo pistol with a 12-round magazine that had been recently replaced in service by the VP70.

	'''''Aliens''''' is the 1986 sequel to ''[[Alien]]''. The now classic science fiction film was only the third feature directed by [[James Cameron]] (following ''Piranha Part Two'' and ''[[The Terminator]]''). [[Sigourney Weaver]] returns as Ellen Ripley, who travels with a platoon of US Colonial Marines to investigate a loss of contact with the colony established on the same planet discovered by the crew of the ''Nostromo'' in the original film. For ''Aliens'', the majority of the weapons seen in this film were actual firearms visually modified for the production.		'''''Aliens''''' is the 1986 sequel to ''[[Alien]]''.
