QuoteIts just not going to be one the top things you remember about the film like the Pulse Rifle and Smart Gun were for Aliens. The guns were important enough to Cameron to make them a big part of film, no alien film before or since has really done that or wanted to.

A:R had very distinct and cool looking guns. Did they dominated core story of the film? No.[img]Quote from: The Cruentus on Jan 09, 2017, 04:46:13 PMQuote from: Master on Jan 09, 2017, 04:33:53 PMOk.

Covenant, that is set very close to that era, should use it imo.@IngwarThanks for listening

In era of Alien and Aliens this chick with her gun looks like a guy with blunderbuss among ww2 soldiers. I know it's not military vessel but certainly cost substential ammount in adjusted dollars and certainly have more for protection then antiques.

This is before Aliens and even in that film the guns do not seem that much more advanced. The pulse rifle and smart gun are still using ballistics even. Not only that but Vasquez actually has and uses a pistol from WWII, not to mention the racks of modern era weapons also seen on the sulaco. It just doesn't seem like there is all that big of a gap between these and the weapons in the sulaco which is still in the future and carries state of the art weaponry. P.s. I don't know anything about firearms so this isnt an informed opinion.
