Would the M41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens pay child support?

Yuletide 2024 Recs, Batch One

15 recs for Alien, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Antigone, Archive 81, Arrival, Beetlejuice, Beyond Evil, The Bikeriders, Blade Runner 2049, and Challengers

Alien - Would Have Liked To, Dwayne HIcks/Ellen Ripley

A stolen moment of quiet that, because of who Ripley and Hicks are, is spent practically: getting to know the M41A. Neither of them distracted at all, not really.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Marty Hong Faces the Terror Tank!, Sam Clay & Rosa Saks

It was the first thing Sam had told him: “You trade in your leverage, those guys’ll eat your lunch.”

Antigone - The Second Burial

The long shadows of early morning stripe the cracked earth as she crosses the dry riverbed and rushes back to the body from her hiding place behind the acanthus bushes. Light and shadow cut across her eyes, glare and blind, glare and blind.

Archive 81 - tying echoes and vibrations, Dan Powell & Mark Sollinger

It was a Tuesday, in late fall, three months after Dan had reappeared in Brooklyn, New York with an open wound in his chest and wires poking out from under a t-shirt he didn’t remember owning, that he completed the ritual to summon Mark.

Arrival - Semasiography, Louise Banks & Original Characters

I’m fifty-six and I’m wearing a black suit at Louise Banks’ funeral.

Beetlejuice - If You Hear A Shriek and Your Legs Feel Weak, Beetlejuice/Lydia Deetz

When all was said and done and one necromancer was thwarted from rising, three cultists had run out screaming after suffering some fairly significant, though not permanent body horror, and a perfectly good chocolate cake was ruined, Lydia turned to him and calmly said, “So you didn't die.”

Beyond Evil - and then the bird in spring again, Han Joowon/Lee Dongsik

These are the moments Juwon keep coming back to: Dongsik's socked feet in the rain; the grains of salt catching the light in his hair; fish soup.

The Bikeriders - Easy Work, Benny/Johnny

Benny’s gaze didn’t waver as he looked at Johnny, pinned him right to the spot without having to lift a finger or utter so much as a word. Someone else could have, would have, gotten reckless having that kind of power over the president of the club, but not Benny.

The Bikeriders - Triptych, Benny/Johnny/Kathy

“There’s plenty I like about Johnny,” Kathy says. “Like I said, he keeps his head. And he’s loyal. I seen women throw themselves all over him but he’s only got eyes for Benny.” “Betty.” “Betty. That’s what I said.” Later, Danny plays back the recording and confirms she did in fact say Benny. Or: Johnny tells Danny about the blizzard of '67. Kathy explains how Benny dodged the draft. And Benny finally agrees to be interviewed.

Blade Runner 2049 - My fickle friend, the summer wind, Rick Deckard/K

Once they were out of the city it would be easier to think about what to do and how to stay alive doing it. Until then, Deckard kept it steady at a reasonable speed and tried to stay inconspicuous. Sitting in the passenger seat, Joe was limp where Deckard had strapped him in, pale face reflected in the window and blood soaking through his clothes and into the seat.

Challengers - Percentage Tennis, Art Donaldson/Tashi Donaldson/Patrick Zweig

After New Rochelle, Art has a proposition for Patrick.

Challengers - saddle up and ride, Art Donaldson/Tashi Donaldson/Patrick Zweig

Tashi reaches out and smudges the shaving cream off of his cheek. He sighs into her touch and kisses her palm. She curves her fingers around his chin to scratch underneath it. Then, she nudges her thumb into his mouth, and pushes it in and out, in and out. Art blushes, pretty and pink. Her heart beats in her throat, a tiny, frightened animal worn down from running away. “I want him to fuck you. And I want to watch.”

Challengers - Impulse, Art Donaldson/Tashi Donaldson/Patrick Zweig

Patrick tries out one of his kinks with Art and Tashi.

Challengers - mean, Art Donaldson/Tashi Donaldson/Patrick Zweig

The thing about Art is Tashi knows he has it in him, to be fucking mean. He can be ruthless to get what he wants, when he really fucking wants it.

Challengers - only see, Tashi Donaldson

Instead of everything beginning, Tashi retreats to her childhood bedroom.

"Jaune Gets A Gun AU - Day 3" Colonial Marines - Various...

Inspired by @howlingday's RU-JA-GUN-CON

The girls were still feeling a little off, like they had forgotten something big. Something related to the goofy knight that had captured all their hearts. But for the life of them all they couldn't put their finger on it, plus there was a sudden distrustful jealousy of Cheerleaders that they couldn't explain. So they just chose to go along with Jaune's suggestion to get some lunch.

As they were moving past the various booths on their way to the Food Court, they passed a very militaristic booth. It instantly reminded Ruby of the Mobile Infantry Recruiting Booth from Day One of the convention. She shivered, knowing that through her inaction she had allowed Jaune to enlist.

????: Jaune? Jaune is that you?

Jaune: Huh? Did someone call my name? That voice. It couldn't be?

????: It is.

Jaune: (Turns to his right) Aunt Ripley? When did you get back?

The girls all turned to their right, following Jaune's lead.

Ripley: Recently, and my, my you have gotten so BIG since the last time I saw you! Come give your Auntie a hug!

The girls watched as Jaune hugged the older woman, a bright smile on his face. When they ended the embrace, Jaune stepped back to stand with the girls.

Ripley: Now, who are these young ladies?

Jaune: Some friends from Beacon. Ruby Rose, team leader of team RWBY.

Ruby: Hi.

Jaune: Pyrrha Nikos, my partner and temamate on JNPR.

Pyrrha: Hello.

Jaune: This is Emerald Sustrai, she's from Haven and a member of team CMEN.

Emerald nods.

Jaune: and a pair of old friends from Ansel. You should remember Tiny Tina.

Ripley: I do. Good to see you again, Tina, and if my memory serves me correctly, you should be Jinx.

Jinx/Tiny Tina: Ms Ripley.

Ripley: So what brings you to this event, Jaune?

Jaune: My friends have talked me into getting a ranged option to round out my arsenal. Right now I'm only using Crocea Mors, so they think I should look at getting a gun.

Ripley: Not a bad idea. So, have you thought about what you want to get?

Jaune: A few people, I know, suggest a shotgun, but I'm still open to other ideas.

Ripley: Well, maybe I can help you. Come with me.

Ripley led the sextet towards the booth she had been at. As they closed the distance, they saw two armoured men, standing behind the display counter.

Jaune: They look a little serious.

Ripley: Hicks and Hudson are good guys, and don't let their appearances fool you (whispers to Jaune) They're big softies.

The girls spread out to look at the display case as Jaune was introduced to his Aunt Ripley's companions.

Ruby: They do have a pretty good selection.

Pyrrha: They all look pretty sturdy and robust.

Tiny Tina: What's this one? Here at the end.

Hudson: That's a M134 Motion Tracker.

Jinx: Motion tracker?

Hudson: Provides a 180 degree sensing hemisphere in the direction the operator is facing, that indicates the presence of anything moving, with distance from the operator. Great for watching for unseen or hidden threats.

Ruby: Is that a M41A with under barrel U1 grenade launcher?

Hicks: (Moving from Ripley and Jaune as they continue to talk.) You have a good eye. I have a feeling you know the specs too.

Pyrrha: She does. What about that big one? Looks like a machine gun.

Hudson: The M56 Smartgun.

Tiny Tina: Smartgun? How is it smart?

Hicks: Mounted on a self stabilizing arm that auto-tracks targets with an infrared target tracking system.

Jinx: So it would be good for someone with, like, NO firearms experience?

Hudson: It would. Takes the guess work out of hitting a target.

Tiny Tina: And this one here, next to the rifle?

Hicks: M240 Incinerator Unit. (Noticing the looks of the girls) It's a flamethrower.

Ruby/Pyrrha: Nope. Too brutal.

Hudson: When you're taking on Xenos... anything goes girlies.

Tiny Tina/Jinx: Xenos?

Hicks: Screen on the side of the booth, next to the armour display.

Girls: What the hell are those?

Hicks: Xenomorphs, or Aliens. Steel like exoskeletons and molecular acid for blood.

The girls all grew wide-eyed. Those things made the grimm look like stuffed animals. Ruby and Pyrrha grew even more concerned, knowing that the last time Jaune visited a booth about a military style unit, he ended up enlisting.

Jaune: So, what do you think? That shotgun looks promising.

Hicks: Solid and true. War Era M37 pump, modified with a short barrel, capable of slam-firing.

Jaune: The pistol looks nice too, but I think I'd go with the shotgun.

Hicks: It's my personal favourite. Like to keep it nearby for ... "close encounters"

Ripley: So, see anything that tickles your fancy, Jaune?

Jaune: I think I'll get the shotgun.

Hudson: Okay, just some paperwork to do and...

Pyrrha/Ruby: NO! (Each girl taking a side and hooking Jaune under his arm pits, and before Jaune could struggle, Tiny Tina and Jinx moved in and lifted him by his legs.)

Hicks/Hudson: (Shouting as they watched a potential customer being hauled off) What are you doing?

Ripley: Put him DOWN NOW!

Hudson: I don't get it? It's only forms to get the proper licences. That's an over reaction, if I ever saw one.

Emerald: I'm sorry, but Jaune already enlisted with the Mobile Infantry. Thank you for your time.

Ripley: HE WHAT NOW?!? JAUNE GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE! YOUR MOTHER IS SO GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS YOUNG MAN!

Jaune: (in the distance) I'm sorry?

Hicks: United Federation, those blood suckers always looking for fresh meat for the grinder.

Hudson: Game Over, man. Game Over.

Ripley: (Whipping about to face the two marines) Get hold of Gorman. Tell him personal favour. Find a way to get Jaune out of the that enlistment!

(So I'm giving up on the Bolding of all the speakers. If this you find it is better with the bolding, DM or comment, and I'll edit this, and continue the practice in further posts. Hope you enjoyed.)

[i-identify-guns-in-posts]

You said you aren’t big on fantasy guns - does that include all fictional weapons or just sci-fi/magic/whatever - like; how do you feel abt guns that are fictional but realistic?

I tend to think realistic fake guns, when done correctly, are extremely cool. The problem is that I pretty rarely see those done correctly, or in a way that pleases me. Even some of the most iconic and beloved fictionnal guns that i love, such as the alien M41A pulse rifle, I still have mixed feelings about, because some parts of it don't make sense to me, in my personnal opinion. But I do understand that sacrifices to realism must be made for the sake of art. sometimes it's just better if it looks cool and fits an aesthetic than it would by just. "making sense"

Armat M41A - 40×53mm

[tammersmods]

The Special Purpose Shotgun is based loosely on the Franchi SPAS-12, and brings me one step closer to realizing my dream of making a base-game asset M41A Pulse Rifle from 'Aliens'.

USCM Artillery: Armat M41A Pulse Rifle - Explained

[fallziell]

nowitsdark:

M41A Pulse Rifle

“The Marines of the USCMC (United States Colonial Marine Corps) famously use the M41A Pulse Rifle as their standard issue weapon, a futuristic assault rifle with a magazine capacity of 99 rounds of 10mm caseless armor piercing ammunition with a pump action 30mm grenade launcher underneath the barrel. This weapon was made from an M1A1 Thompson submachine gun fitted with a cutdown Remington 870 shotgun underneath with the shroud and foregrip of a SPAS 12 covering it. At the end of the film, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) tapes one of these rifles to an M240 Flamethrower when going to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn).”
