Flame thrower. If it's alive, bleeds, and breathes, it will burn and die. Maybe the flames will burn the acid blood up before it can cause any damage to the ship as well.

Quote HistoryQuoted: And you would think a big ass ship intended for long term space travel with a human crew would be able to withstand some small arms fire. All I really want is sufficient lighting so that I can control the xenomorph approach and sneakiness. I think I could take out the alien with sufficient lighting and even limited weapons in the movie (seeing as how the aliens are flammable). Basically, I only need to know one thing... where they are. That said, I do want a fucking wall of lead in the form of 7.62x51 from something like a SCAR, AR10, or FAL to take down this threat, though:

suppressed 22 caliber pistol to shoot each of the crew members in the knee cap while you run to the life boat. The alien should have a little bit of time spent at each wounded member to allow you to get in and seal the hatch.

I think .308 Bullpup is the way to go. 2500ft/lbs of energy + 25rd mags + Compact OAL is ideal for use in a confined space ship.
M80A1 handloads would be the projectile of choice, or Lehigh Controlled Chaos. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Their blood doesn’t hurt them at all. It’s theorized that their blood is what powers them and they have no need to eat, breath, drink, or sleep. I guess I'm on board with the flamethrower crew, if we're talking civilian weapons only. But honestly, I don't think the crew of the Nostromo utilized the ship's own systems enough. Seems like each ship would have the ability to purge atmosphere in selected areas...I don't know why this wouldn't have been effective. |

To nerd out, the Colonial Marines Technical Manual basically talks about their blood as an acid being part of a bio-electrochemical battery and that their blood does basically fuel them; though they do eat and break things down somehow further - ETA: precisely because they aren't perpetual motion machines, but can put themselves on standby and survive in extreme climates pretty easily.

.308 shorty like a G3/FAL with .30 cal subcaliber (SLAP) rounds.
The Xeno's had very tough skins, even in Aliens the M41a was just able to take them apart, the handguns could barely get through their skin, and in some cases couldn't. Which explains why the little laser gun thingys they had in the original wouldn't have worked. The Subcaliber darts would be able to penetrate the skin easier and not deflect as much. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They were referring to the bullet holes. But even with some acid the ship should be able to take it. In the movies every dead xenomorph doesn't create a big hole in the ship. They just splatter some acid. Alien resurrection and aliens massive damage is done, huge holes in decks. If that was near the hull that’s some big old open to space hole. Not to mention pipes,electrics etc that get burned up too. |
