So...what are these? I'm guessing some sort of acid gun?

Well, the bottom one isn't.

  Thanks, Cap'n.

Personally I don't mind the book going off into a bit of "here's some shit we made up that could be derived from the Alien". Bit of a bonus on top of all the film-centric info.

[SM]

Yes it is an acid gun.  The picture labels provide more detail.

[Corporal Hicks]

I look forward to seeing what they say about that. Is there a lot of new stuff in there?

[SM]

That sort of thing?  No.

There's lots of embellishments that connect direct to the films.

That's some cool stuff. It has rekindled my excitement for the WYR a bit.

As SM said, it is now not useful to judge some concepts without the written context.

As it is a company report, it does not only gather given informations from past events (the movies) but gives room for speculations and future prospects of concepts based on speculation...

[Ultramorph]

That speculative stuff has me thinking that they could do some neat things in the follow ups to Sea of Sorrows, assuming those wind up happening.

[Russ]

I always find it appropriate to judge a publication based on a handful of pictures, with the only context being a blurred language that I only have a rudimentary understanding of.

The internet is with you on that when it comes to films too.

Cannon!

So it looks like I was right, the book isn't going to be a simple regurgitation of stuff we already know from the movies but will actually bring us new stuff as well.
