3. Aliens Pulse Rifle

One of the best sequels of all time, and the iconic weapon from it. The rifle of choice for the colonial marines from James Cameron's Aliens, the attention to detail on this replica is absolutely outstanding - even down to the painting of the shrouds in brown, instead of the olive green that the pickier breed of film geek wrongly insisted that they were. The rifle is to scale, and features the movable pump action grenade launcher that made testosterone practically leak from the screen upon the film's release. For anyone who ever dreamt of growing up to be a hard-as-nails space commando after seeing this film as a child, no names mentioned, this rifle would make an excellent display piece. For £1143 this isn't a frivolous purchase, but you could argue that it's the second coolest weapon in cinema history. What's the first, you ask?
