Its sleek futuristic design has influenced everything from the armoury of Halo to the prototype weaponry of the US military, and the rifle has appeared in a range of video games including Alien Versus Predator and Aliens: Colonial Marines. But how was this sci-fi icon created? Watch and find out.

Great video. Thread deserves a bump.

One sloppiness I hate in Alien games is where the flutter sound of the gun fire doesn't fluctuate. It's a small, but niggly annoyance.
