Yeah man, it is.
No, it isn't. "Barely any"... barely fits those sequences (see what I did there?)

Compared to the original movies, that's nothing. You might want to re-watch them for confirmation.
Alien got only one monstrously gory scene, and it is the chestbursting scene. Inside the film there are only two more, alas Brett's death (bolt-quick, and we don't get to see much) and Parker & Lambert's, the first being bolt-quick like Brett's and the second offscreen, although we later see the bl00dy foot.
Aliens got Ferro's demise and the Woman chestbursted, for the rest there isn't much by far.
Alien3 and
Alien: Resurrection are pretty gory, not exceedingly but they indeed have more gore than AvP.
Predator &
Predator 2 too are gory.
..But I don't even understand why we're discussing (again; it is like the fifth time I get into this argument) about how AvP "lacks" gore; for the hell of it, I really don't care if the Alien/Predator films are or are not gory;
Alien would be a masterpiece even if the Chestbursting had half of the blood.
Aliens would have survived without the blood sprayed on the dropship window, Predator would be one of the most memorable films eve even without the Predator blowing Mac's brains straight off, etc. Gore means nothing when we have to give a judgement to a film. AvP has a lot of flaws, but gore isn't one of them by a long shot.
