Yeah, it's the rifle used by the Colonial Marines in "Aliens" and all other associated stories. The undermount is a grenade launcher in the movies/stories, but in reality it's a SPAS 12 shotgun (I just looked it up).

Another "Aliens" WWII weapons:

The M56A2 Smart Gun--a converted German WWII MG42.

Your right. I was going for the “movie” version.

I see now where you noted both GL AND Shotgun.

Sorry.

Does anyone know the name of the full auto shotgun that has a sort of AR look to it? I think it held a 50 round drum, but darned if I know what...wait...Atchison(sp?) comes to mind.

Has that been in any movies?
