The following guns were used in the movie Aliens
M41A Pulse Rifle
The USCM Marines famously use M41A Pulse Rifles as thier standard issue weapon, a futuristic assault rifle with a magazine capacity of 99 rounds of armor piercing ammunition with a 30mm grenade launcher underneath the barrel. This weapon was made from a M1 Thompson machine gun with a Remington 870 shotgun underneath with the shroud and foregrip of a SPAS 12 covering it. At the end of the film, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) tapes one of these rifles to an M240 Flamethrower when going to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn).
M56 Smart Gun
Both PFC J. Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein), and Private M. Drake (Mark Rolston) both use M56 Smart Guns. These were made from German MG42 machine guns.
M240 Flamethrower
Another weapon used by the marines is the M240 Flamethrower, it most notably used by Gunnery Sergeant A. Apone (Al Matthews), Private M. Drake (Mark Rolston), and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) when she famously tapes it to an M41A Pulse Rifle before she goes to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn). These flamethrowers also appear to have been created from M16 rifles with the M203 handguard.
Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"
Corporal Hicks' (Michael Biehn) shotgun is an Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" which he keeps for "Close Encounters". One memorable scene with this gun is when Hicks sticks the barrel of the weapon in an aliens' mouth, and yells "Eat This!" and proceeds to blow its' head off. In the process the acidic blood gets sprayed on to Pvt. Hudson's (Bill Paxton) arm cause he was trying to close the door of the APC.
Heckler & Koch VP70
The Heckler & Koch VP70 is the sevice pistol of the marines in the movie. This gun is notably seen in the hands of Private Frost (Rico Ross) just before the aliens attack.
Sentry Guns
In the extended version of the film, the marines set up Sentry Guns in the hallways leading to thier refuge. These like the M56 Smart Guns, were also created from German MG42 machine guns.
Smith & Wesson 5906
PFC Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) uses a black Smith & Wesson 5906 with pearl grips as her sidearm. She most notably uses it to kill an alien while moving through the vents, but burns her foot from the creature's acidic blood in the process.
