It’s a little off topic, but did you find it curious like I did that futuristic, space-travelling Marines hadn’t yet developed a personal weapon that had more stopping power than the current M-16?

Time after time, it would take multiple Marines emptying clip after clip into a “bug” to kill it.

Found that unlikely and really annoying after a while.

Ha! Well, I guess it would not have been much fun as a movie if they had effective weapons.   ;-)
