:Again, I am seriously thinking about deleting this page cause I see no mentioning of these weapons being dressed up from real guns or just props meant to appear like they are shooting something. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 11:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
:: I restored this page, because I do recall reading from a British Cinema journal that some of the sci fi weapons were built around real guns and the shapes were really hidden well by the outlandish decorative shells.  I don't have the exact details, but will make it a task to research which guns were used as the basis for the sci fi weapons.  This page is weak, I admit, but I hope to get better images and information on the weapons used.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
:::I googled up a prop page ( http://www.yourprops.com/view_item.php?movie_prop=8662 ) which claims the rifles are all prop; essentially jury-rigged electrically operated revolvers using pyro charges inside a machined aluminium frame; similarity, the pistols are apparently resin kits and the grenade launcher another prop with a spring-loaded pump, machined aluminium reciever and a metal barrel. One wonders how much the phrase "non-gun technology" has to do with the presence of a certain miss Weaver on the same set as a bunch of icky weapons. [[User:Tim|Tim]] 23:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
::::Thanks so much! :D  So these sci fi weapons were 'nonguns' like the ones we list from ISS.  The more Info we can get the better.  I still don't believe in eliminating this page, being that the guns can still cause some confusion as to what they are.  It's not like "South Park" (a page that was recently deleted) where no one in their right mind would wonder if any real guns were used or were the basis for the sci fi weapons.  If it can answer someone's movie trivia question, then it belongs here.  Also pretty funny with 'anti gun' Sigourney Weaver.  She used a FULL AUTO gun and kicked ass in Aliens and then became all politically correct, thus the requirement that there by NO GUNS in Aliens 3.  Since they are NON-Guns as listed in our fictional guns page, then we should try to educate the public. :)  Again, thanks for the awesome info.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:55, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Arm-Anchored Pistols

Christie's (Gary Dourdan) main handgun in the movie, he keeps two on arm-anchors, similarily to Antonio Banderas's character in Desperado. After the Gym scene, he is only seen with one, with which he threatens Wren with, and tries to kill the Alien hanging on his leg, in his final moments.

1911

When Johner (Ron Perlman), Christie (Gary Dourdan), and Call (Winona Ryder) are watching the Home Shopping network, one of the various objects displayed is some various 1911 clone. It resembles the Colt/Detonics 1911 Hybrid seen in Terminator 2.

Shotguns

Concealed Carry Double-Barreled shotgun

A Shotgun is seen on Vriess' Wheel chair, disassembled. He assembles it when Vriess sees an Alien in the Cieling. It later Jams after going through the flooded kitchen. It leaves Christie (Gary Dourdan) to fend for himself against the Alien hanging on his leg.

Rifles

Shockrifle 'Burner'

The Standard Assault Rifle weapon used by United Systems Military. It's main setting is a Shock setting similar to that of a taser, but without causing physical harm. That setting is used on Ripley 8 (Sigourney Weaver) when she is strangling Wren. It's backup setting allows it to fire solid slugs. This is the setting seen used by DiStephano right up until the end, Johner (Ron Perlman). The weapon is also very notably dual-wielded by Elgyn, but he never gets to use it.

This is one of the most versatile weapons available to the United Systems Military. It is primarily a Flame thrower unit, but can be used as an Assault Rifle and a Grenade Launcher. The Assault Rifle mode is seen used by Johner (Ron Perlman) at the end of the film when killing the Alien that had birthed from Purvis through Wren's forehead.

'Thermos' Gun

The 'Thermos Gun' is snuck through security by Johner (Ron Perlman) with the crass quip 'My own Recipe, way more dangerous'.

Trivia

When Ron Perlman was hanging from the ladder with the two handguns mentioned above, he found that he had severely cut up the backs of his legs during the filming of the scene.


Just an aside.Notice in this film,you can see the bullets sometimes,most notably in the ladder scene.Jean-Pierre Jeunet is French,like Luc Besson.Seen the scene in The Transporter when Frank(Jason Statham)gets his house shot up?Visible bullets again.Looks cool,and separates from Hollywood action a bit,methinks
