A USM shock rifle from the production of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's sci-fi horror sequel Alien: Resurrection. The United Systems Military (USM) carried shock rifles as their primary weapons in the 24th century, most notably in the battle against the Xenomorphs aboard the USM Auriga.

The black and silvertone prop rifle is made from machined aluminum and resin with production-made weathering throughout and metal loops attached for a shoulder strap. Several electronic features are built into the rifle and are controlled by several small switches. The first switch turns on a glowing red number counter, simulating an ammo count, that goes down by one digit with each pull of the trigger; flipping this switch on and off again brings the total number down by 10 digits each time. The next switch locks the counter, allowing the trigger to be pulled without affecting the counter. Lastly, a switch on the black attachment on the bottom of the barrel turns the front flashlight on and off. The electronic functions of the rifle are charged by a power plug that connects to a small port in the far back of the stock.

The lot is in good overall condition with some signs of wear from production and age, including scuffing, red stains, and some discoloration to the metal.
