    Looks like a cross between an AK47 & a Heckler & Koch...

    Look at the barrel! It's obviously a StG44 without mag but with some modified scope...

    The mechamism looks a bit like a Thompson, but surely it can't be that?
    Can it?

    It does look very much like they drew inspiration from the M60.

    Next, again from 'Aliens.' Since the movie is very dark, I couldn't find a clear real-life picture. This drawing will have to do..
