The following guns were used in the movie Aliens

M41A Pulse Rifle

The USCM Marines famously use M41A Pulse Rifles as thier standard issue weapons. This weapon was made from a M1 Thompson machine gun with a Remington 870 shotgun underneath while some argue that the Grenade launcher is actually a SPAS 12. At the end, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) tapes one of these rifles to an M240 Flamethrower when going to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn).

Private R. Frost (Rico Ross) loads up an M41A Pulse Rifle.
Corporal Dwayne Hicks (Michael Biehn) instructs Ripley on how to use an M41A Pulse Rifle.

M56 Smart Gun

Both PFC J. Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein), and Private M. Drake (Mark Rolston) both use M56 Smart Guns. These were made from German MG42 machine guns.

M240 Flamethrower

Another weapon used by the marines is the M240 Flamethrower, it most notably used by Gunnery Sergeant A. Apone (Al Matthews), Private M. Drake (Mark Rolston), and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) when she famously tapes it to an M41A Pulse Rifle before she goes to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn). These flamethrowers also appear to have been created from M16 rifles.

Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"

Corporal Hicks' (Michael Biehn) shotgun is an Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" which he keeps for "Close Encounters". One memorable scene with this gun is when Hicks sticks the barrel of the weapon in an aliens' mouth, and yells "Eat This!" and proceeds to blow its' head off, though ends up getting burned by the spray of the aliens' acidic blood.
