See? Nobody likes Smith and Wesson. A gun's beauty is not in its aesthetics, but in its ability to kill, for therein lies the purpose of the weapon. Thus a gun is beautiful not for the way it looks, but for how it acts out its purpose.
I personally think it is one lovely looking firearm. I saved those pictures.

M-41A and aliens weapons 
well here is some stuff i dug up on the pulse rifle:
The Armat M41A is a 10mm pulse-action air-cooled automatic assault rifle, which over the last decade has become the basic rifle of the US Colonial Marines and the US Army. The standard service variant has an over-and-under configuration incorporating a PN 30mm pump-action grenade launcher.
Lightweight and rugged, the M41 is constructed largely from ultra-light alloy precision metal stampings. The outer casing is made from titanium aluminide alloy and many internal parts are molded from high-impact, temperature resistant plastics. Layout is conventional, and a spring loaded retractable stock allows the rifle to be used either in carbine format (with stock retracted) or as a rifle, with the 'in-line' stock extended for greater stability during automatic fire from the shoulder. Sighting is made down a groove in the carrying handle, with an adjustable tangent leaf backsight positioned in the rear slot. A 3x power AN/RVS-52 CCD television sight can be optionally fitted to the carrying handle for accuracy at great range and under low-light conditions.
The M41 fires the standard US M309 10mm x 24 round. This ammunition comprises a 210 grain projectile embedded within a rectangular caseless propellant block of Nitramine 50. The propellant content is small but highly efficient, generating muzzle velocities on the order of 840 meters per second. The round is steel-jacketed and explosive tipped, with impact fusing that is preset during manufacture. Terminal ballistic characteristics have been optimized for maximum lethality against infantry wearing personal armor. The round is designed to penetrate the armor, exploding just after impact to inflict lethal internal damage. The standard M41 ammunition clip will hold up to 100 M309 rounds in a 'U' bend conveyor that feeds the rounds mechanically into the rotating breech mechanism. However, in practice the clips are only filled to 95% capacity in order to reduce the autoloader's tendency to jam.
The M41 uses electronic pulse action to fire, controlled directly from the trigger. The internal mechanism, including the rotating breech, is mounted on free-floating rails within a carbon-filter jacket. This assembly is recoil dampened to reduce the effects of muzzle climb during burst and full automatic fire. From the thumb selector, the weapon can be set to four-round bursts, or full automatic fire, the latter allowing a rate of fire up to the weapons cyclic rate of 900 rounds per minute. An LED display situated just below the receiver indicates the ammo remaining in the clip. This display can be dimmed for night operations. A Lithium battery in the carrying handle provides electrical power for the gun???s motor mechanism.
This battery is good for 10,000 rounds and can be recharged either from a rifle rack or a portable power clip.
The M41 is a robust weapon, fully sealed against corrosion, dirt and moisture, yet easy to disassemble and maintain.
The solid state electronics are hardened against TREE and background radiation, and the weapon is perfectly usable in a vacuum environment. However, it is not sufficiently stabilized or recoil dampened for use in free-fall combat operations
the M56A2 Smartgun:
M56A2 SMART GUN: The M56A2 is a 10mm general-purpose automatic squad support weapon, effective out to 1500 meters. The pulse-action system employs a free-floating recoil-dampened rotating breech mechanism chambered for the M250 series 10mm x 28 caseless round. the gun also incorporates a muzzle booster to ensure the necessary operating forces from the large round. Cyclic rate is around 1200 rounds per minute. The gun is constructed largely from molded carbon-fiber and light alloy stampings, though some interior parts of the mechanism are made from plastic. The replaceable barrel system is air-cooled, though a heat-sink attachment can be jacketed onto it. The system is mounted on an operator's harness and slaved to an infrared tracking system. the gun is self-steering on the mount, though firing must be commanded manually. the entire gun assembly masses 17.82 kg. The length of the gun itself is 122 cm, and the length of the barrel is 54.5 cm.
The stabilized articulation arm is attached to the left hip mounting and plugged in via coaxial cable to the processor and power outlets in the breastplate. The gun itself is clipped and secured to the end of the arm. The operator plugs this HMS (head mounted sight) into the tracking and comms system in the armor. the gun tracker is jacked into the process by a universal connector, and the gun itself must be powered up before the weapon is loaded. Power for the entire gun system is supplied by standard DV9 Lithium battery units, good for up to 50,000 rounds when fully charged. Both ends of the DV9 unit are plugged into the power leads that run from the articulation arm to the gun; common practice in the field is to let the battery hand free beneath the gun, where it is easily accessed in an emergency.
The M250 10mm x 28 ammunition is a 230 grain caseless projectile encased in a rectangular block of Nitramine. Higher powered that the M309 round for the pulse rifle, the M250 also significantly differs in having a selectable fuse setting. A switch on the hand grip is used to select the ammunition fusing, which is set electronically as the round is loaded into the chamber. The 'Super' setting is optimized against soft targets and will detonate the round on impact, while the 'Delay' setting explodes the shell only after penetrating the target armor.
The M250 ammunition is stored on a roll of continuous plastic non-disintegrating link belt in the ammunition drum, which can be reloaded in the field. The gun motor drives the feed mechanism as well as the rotating breech, and automatically loads each round off the belt and into the breech. In the event of a jam, the manual cocking handle at the side can be pulled to eject the round and clear the breech. This procedure can also be used to manually charge the mechanism.

hardcoregamer: Yes, I have The Colonial Marines Technical Manual to 'dig up' info from.
Btw, the pulse rifle can only hold 99 rounds. Apparent to the fact that the LED counter only has 2 digits. Also, Lee Brimmicombe-Wood incorrectly describes the Pulse rifle's ammunition. If they had been like so, there is no way in hell that they would have been able to hold and feed 99 rounds.
Btw, for the movie, the pulse rifle was a .22 convertion of a thompson submachinegun married to a Remington 870 shotgun. As such, it could only fire in full auto.
