It's a pulse rifle. No way 99 rounds of 10mm or 9mm could fit a magazine similar in size of a 20 round of 5.56x45 NATO.

The way I understood it shoots bullets size of a air rifle pellet with such a high speed that the air around the projectile will actually turn into plasma making the plasma pulse the thing that kills you rather than the projectile itself. Thus the name pulse rifle.

I could be wrong though just typing it the way I remember it.

not without overheating right away. The pulse rifle handles caseless ammo on top of that, it's designed with no atmosphere and zero gravity operations boarding spaceships and space stations in mind.

Fun fact: movie lore reveals that the pulse rifle's grenade launcher has the ability to fire smart airburst rounds just like the XM-25 today. It also had White Phosphorous flares, buckshot, AP darts, beanbags and so on, it's like the lawgiver in Dredd.

Barrel too long. You'll never swing it around in time to shoot that alien behind you.

Front sight has a torch in it and blocks the rear sight. Torches go on the side of barrels, not the top.

>>
>>28640361
Movie makers like bulky guns since they seem "manly" and "cool". If they'd know shit about guns or shooting they'd go in the different direction.

A real soldier doesn't give a fuck about how "manly" or "cool" his weapon is as long it does the job of killing his enemies and keeping him alive. I'd imagine that this still applies with the colonial marines.

>>
>>28640417
>By that logic, the M60 isn't real.

Is M60 intentionally bulky or is it that way just because it is the only way to fit the necessary mechanics inside the gun? Ever considered that it's not bulky because they wanted that but rather that it's as slim as they could make it while still maintaining it's functionality?

And due to the damage they caused the whole reactor melted down at the end of the film and exploded.

Also, they used rifles because the marines were 80% bravado, 20% actual skill.

I thought they were just overdesigned, clunky and devoid of personality, specially in action with the crappy sound FX. Should have just taken real 80's guns and gave them a brown bess color job.

On top of that, they all have poorly defined roles.
