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!

It's likely that it was an existing piece (I mean why go to the effort of building something when you can use something that already exists), however I've been looking for years and have never found out what it was.

Whatever it was, it was in two halves (not a single unit)

I wouldn't rule out a custom made item considering the layout of the functional flame unit. They stamped out the shrouds for the pulse rifles and machined the barrel vents easy enough. Stamping out a custom cover to accommodate the head of a flame unit wouldn't seem that difficult.
