ALIENS (1986) - Lightweight Colonial Marine Flamethrower - A lightweight Colonial Marine flamethrower from James Cameron's Aliens. United States Colonial Marines Frost (Ricco Ross), Apone (Al Matthews), Dietrich (Cynthia Dale Scott), and Drake (Mark Rolston) carried M240 incinerator units during the LV-426 base and xenomorph hive exploration scenes. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) also used a Pulse Rifle/flamethrower combination weapon after Bishop (Lance Henriksen) rescued her en route to save Newt (Carrie Henn).

SFX supervisor John Richardson and conceptual designer Ron Cobb created several different versions of each weapon for production. Cast from lightweight rigid foam for easy handling, this static weapon is based loosely on existing military hardware. It consists of two M16 rifle casts spliced together, while the front section is based on an M203 grenade launcher with its handle and receiver sections evident at the center. A Colt Patent Firearms logo is embossed near the butt.

The flamethrower is painted sage green with black detailing, muzzle exhaust holes, safety switches, and textured ridges on the chassis. Following production, it underwent sympathetic restoration to repair a crack on the body forward of the fuel tank. It exhibits some minor associated paint loss and a dulling to its finish from age. Dimensions: 32.5" x 20.25" x 4.5" (82.75 cm x 51.5 cm x 11.5 cm)

Estimate: $25,000 - 50,000
