One of the most recognizable features of the Alien franchise, the M41A is an all-in-one weapon tailor made for Earth's Colonial Marines.

As the name suggests, it has all the functions of a typical assault rifle, including an in-built grenade launcher, but what really sets it apart is the sound it makes when fired.

Another eye-catching aspect of this weapon is the realistic nature of its design. Even today, it bears a strong resemblance to standard military grade weapons, creating a near perfect blend of futuristic fiction and visuals that don’t seem too out of this world.

A weapon for all generations that helped make one of sci-fi's most famous stories explosively memorable.
