	Before investigating the derelict ship, Dallas ([[Tom Skerritt]]) tells the crew to break out the weapons, the larger of which was based on the Swiss [[Rexim-Favor]], the other based on a Webley Junior Mk.II ~~air pistol~~. According to the novelization of the film, these are laser pistols. The Rexim-Favor-based weapon features a 4x20 scope and an underbarrel Singlepoint scope (which would make the scope unusable). The Rexim-Favors were used by the actors dressed in full-sized spacesuits, while the Webleys were used by children dressed in scaled down spacesuits, who were used in all wide shots to make the derelict set seem bigger. While not seen being fired, they are seen in holsters on the crew's spacesuits and Kane ([[John Hurt]]) is briefly seen holding one in the Director's Cut.
