	The fictional Colonial Marines standard rocket launcher, the "M5 RPG" appears in the title. It originally appeared in the ''Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual'', the sole rocket launcher of the game and the rarest heavy weapon obtainable in the campaign. Being the sole standalone explosive launcher in the game (barring the "SHARP Rifle"), it can deal huge damage to multiple enemies in its explosive radius. However, it has the shortest usage lifespan of every heavy weapon, only containing 3 (plus 1 already ready to fire, totalling 4) rockets in the magazine on the back which encourages the user to conserve their rockets against heavy targets or a group of enemies. Oddly enough, "reloading" the rocket launcher in multiplayer modes (as it has one rocket in use) automagically refills one rocket without animation, only a slight cooldown. In campaign and Bug Hunt, it sensibly holds 4 rockets all at once. It is pre-fitted with a scope for longer ranges.

	The weapon design that appears in-game heavily deviates what was depicted in the ''Technical Manual'', as the latter appearance there depicts a single shot rocket launcher akin to a M1/M9 [[Bazooka]]. It was likely redesigned to fit better with the modern appearance of other weapons in the game, with the addition of a rocket magazine instead of being single shot, likely to better fit the game's overall pace.		The weapon design that appears in-game heavily deviates what was depicted in the ''Technical Manual'', as the latter appearance there depicts a single shot rocket launcher akin to a M1/M9 [[Bazooka]]. It was likely redesigned to fit better with the modern appearance of other weapons in the game, with the addition of a rocket magazine instead of being single shot, likely to better fit the game's overall pace. Beyond these features, the M5 RPG uses the pistol grip borrowed from the M41A (and by extension, the Thompson SMG).

	The [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] is featured as the "Armat M37A2 Pump Shotgun", one of the three (excluding its legendary variant) shotguns offered in the game. It is the default secondary longarm weapon at the beginning of every player. It appears to be modified with a parkerized finish with a synthetic pump and a custom pistol grip which allows it to fit a stock (though no stocks cannot be attached for this weapon in the game). As with most of the weapons in the game, it is fitted with a side accessory rail, which can attach a laser module. It incorrectly holds 8 shells in the magazine tube, as the model features a 4-round tube as standard.

It incorrectly holds 8 shells in the magazine tube, as the model features a 4-round tube as standard.

	Another variant, "Hicks' Shotgun" (spelt as "Hicks's Shotgun"), appears as a Legendary Weapon in the game. This shotgun is themed after the modified Ithaca 37 that Hicks used in the film, featuring the taped [[MP40]] grip and wooden pump handle. Unlike the film however, it is marked with "HICKS" next to "NO FATE" painted on top of the receiver, a reference to [[Michael Biehn]]'s other famous role as Kyle Reese in ''[[Terminator]]'' (in which he also uses a different modified Ithaca 37) and it has acid burn marks on the muzzle, a reference to it's final use in ''Aliens''. It holds 6 rounds in the magazine tube in the game, which is still incorrect.		Another variant, "Hicks' Shotgun" (spelt as "Hicks's Shotgun"), appears as a Legendary Weapon in the game.

It holds 6 rounds in the magazine tube in the game, (which is still incorrect) and unlike its base variant, it does not have an alternative fire mode.

	The M37A2 can be attached with enhanced lightweight iron sights, a barrel choke and a "custom loading port" for faster reloading (without alterations of the weapon model). Anti-personnel "expanding shots" can be used in place of standard buckshot, at the cost of fire rate. It is also the only weapon that can use alternative firemodes without the use of an underbarrel attachment; it can fire timed explosive shells (that can ricochet briefly) or accurate flechette darts; firing either of them do not deplete the main weapon's ammunition. It is the close-quarters weapon of the W-Y PMC standard grunts as well as HAZMAT personnel, they do not fire the M37's specialty explosive or flechette shells.
