Break the Code! (PS New Production Still)

Ar15's, Eotech and ACOG sights, set 100 years in the future? I absolutely hate when they use current weappns in far future set movies and assume people will ignore it or are too dumb to notice it. Reeks of lazy  filmamking and a disregard for details. Hope this isnt a real photo set in the Alien Covenant time period.

Man That's such a great score in the film

Don't forget Hicks' shotgun in Aliens... even further into the future than this!

Agree totally. I also really hope this isn't the weaponry used in the movie! I mean what's wrong with some MK1 pulse rifles or something?

[Corporal Hicks]

wth, current day M4-variant rifle?? totally took me out of it...

Yeah, not digging on the hardware but I guess it's just not Ridley's bag.

Does not really bother too much regarding current gen weapons in films set 90 years in the future.

I'm mean the AK47 is still used today and that was first built in 1947.

Weren't the Sulaco weapon racks stocked up with contemporary weaponry?

I pretty sure that next to all the pulse rifles there was a rack of some type of Assult rifle which existed at the time of filming.

Along with the use of existing pistols and the shot gun. I think this is ok

[NickisSmart]

I don't understand the complaints about the weapons. The pistol Vasquez used was an unmodified weapon from WWII. In that case, though, probably only vintage weapon buffs would've recognized it. Still, the pulse rifle was merely a Thompson sub-machine gun with some futuristic casing slapped onto it. Perhaps we'll see something similar in this new film?

Black Alien Down...MURICA...that's the feeling I'm getting now and I'm not liking it

[Kailem]

Along with the fact that it takes place much earlier than Aliens you could always just rationalise it that this is more likely the lower-tech "colony ship security"-type weaponry rather than the more advanced stuff the actual colonial marines had in Aliens. It is a little noticeable yes, but it's not something that particularly bothers me.

I'm just looking forward to finally seeing the trailer! 

[nachoninja]

One guy carrying an old timeless pump shotgun as a personal backup I don't mind, but pretending cutting edge security forces will be carrying an M4 with current day sights (meaning no change in battery technology in 100 years) is ridiculous.

[Ingwar]

Look like early marines

Weyland-Yutani security = their own special forces.
