	The iconic [[(Aliens)_-_M41A_Pulse_Rifle\|M41A Pulse Rifle]] makes an appearance in this game. Chambered for M309 10x24mm caseless ammunition, with an implausibly large ~~100~~-round magazine (downloaded to 99 to prevent stoppages) and an underslung grenade launcher firing M40 30mm grenades, this firearm can be found among all human factions (Colonial Marines, Weyland-Yutani security, and the Iron Bears mercenaries) throughout the game, both in singleplayer and multiplayer. The pump-action grenade launcher is never seen reloading, and the LED round counter is non-functional in this game. Unlike the [[Aliens\|movie]], its rounds are less useful against armoured opponents such as Praetorian Aliens or other armoured humans in this game.

	A fictional tri-barrelled ~~Gatling~~ gun with a joystick-syle grip and M60-style handguard, it fires armour-piercing ammunition from a single ammo pool of up to 900 rounds (which it can deplete in about twenty seconds, translating to a firing rate of around 2700 rounds per minute). It offers an unparalleled damage-per-second ratio for a ranged weapon ingame, but its enormous muzzle flash obscures a player's crosshairs in first person view when fired. Despite the M60-style handguard, ingame characters will not actually hold the weapon by the handguard, but by a nonexistent "chainsaw grip." This is due to the animations for the Smartgun being reused for the Minigun.

	It is another commonly deployed weapon among Combat Synthetics in the game, and is exclusively available to the Dmitri character of the Corporates faction in multiplayer. Considered a heavy weapon by the game, player characters can only walk in multiplayer when this weapon is equipped.
