The following guns were used in the movie Alien Nation'
Remington 1100
- Modified Remington 1100 shotgun with black synthetic fore end, tactical pistol grip stock, extended magazine tube and capable of taking box or drum magazines used by the "Slag" robbers at the beginning of the movie.
Ruger AC556
- The 2nd Slag gunman at the beginning of the film discards his Remington 870 short shotgun and uses a Ruger AC556 with an aftermarket synthetic pistol grip stock. Later he throws down the AC556 from his perch on a L.A. Billboard. It is replaced with a rubber casting of the weapon at this point.
Micro Uzi
- Carried by the human henchman during the first robbery heist, in reality an execution.
Beretta 92FS
- Matthew Sykes (James Caan) at the beginning of the film uses a Beretta Model 92FS.
Smith & Wesson 5906
- Det. Bill Tuggle (Roger Aaron Brown) carries a S&W 5906 pistol at the beginning of the film.
Freedom Arms .454 Casull Revolver
- Upset over the death of his human partner, Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes (James Caan) trades out his Beretta 92FS and picks up a Freedom Arms .454 Casull Revolver.
The effect of the 454 Casull is seen on the vest. Normally a revolver round would still not penetrate a vest, even a high powered one, unless it was a hardened metal spitzer round (like the semiautomatic only FN 5.7 round). Additionally it would not blow a huge hole in the vest like an overstuff down pillow either.
Remington 870 Shotgun
