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!

Has anyone built or is anyone building a sentry gun ?
I am designing and getting ready to build one myself just wanting to see if anyone has any good ideas/info.
Thanks,
Grant.

IIRC, the Sentry Guns were indeed built around an MG42 but with different ammo drums - MG08/15, I think.

OK....construction on my fully functional NERF sentry gun has begun...yes, that's right FULLY FUNCTIONAL and NERF !
The concept/design is to have an oscillating reproduction of the UA 571-C from "Aliens" with remote on/off for the oscillation and a separate button to arm the firing mechanism.
The unit will have a built in directional PIR to detect body heat and when it picks up a heat signature it will stop oscillating and open fire at the heat source.
I will post up some pics as it starts to come together.
Cheers,
G

While construction on the main gun assembly continues I have done a test set up of the electrics and firing mechanism that will go into the gun.
Here is a link to a video I have done running through a little test of the system.

Enjoy,

I forgot to mention that the Nerf gun has been extensively modified also....air restrictor removed, 6 X spring fitted and it's now running on 12v instead of 7.2v so it fires MUCH quicker than standard ...It really packs a punch !....as you could probably tell by my reaction LOL :)

That looks amazing! Fantastic job so far. Hey, is that green thing on the side part of a gasmask?

Sentry guns kick ass, they really come in handy when they're wall to wall :-)

That is actually the "Nerf" gun magazine .... It's a 36 dart rotary mag from a Nerf "Raider" kit, just modified to look close to the real thing.

Okay: between your amazing sentry gun and Marsattacks' fantastic prop work I think the Australian Marines need to consider making a fan film. I bet you guys have some unbelievable locations for alien worlds too.
