The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

M41-A Pulse Rifle is the one I prefer. How is it written in the script/on movie detailing, such as the little ID tags?

"M-41A pulse-rifle" is how it appears in the script...

"M41a 10mm PULSE RIFLE" is what appears on a "non screenused" ID tag

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

I though it sounded familiar... Still M41A for me.

There's an Aliens Facebook out there that calls it the M418... :lol:

Does the text M-41A pulse-rifle occur anywhere in the movie?

There is also 'smart-gun' in the script.

Why do you think the hyphen has been lost? Any grammar experts out there?

I personally prefer "M41-A Pulse Rifle."

Gramatically, MS Word red flags "smartgun" but lets "smart-gun" by. :)

In the "Official Movie Book of Aliens" published by Starlog in 1986 (I know Starlog's not the most accurate of "news" magazines...) they list the SG at a "Smart-gun" with a capital "S".

In the same publication they list the PR as the "M-41A 10mm pulse-rifle" (Note: pulse-rifle is also hyphenated!).
