Our expert's notes

Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) flamethrower from Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s sci-fi sequel Alien Resurrection. A practical “incinerator” version of the multi-function AR-2 assault rifle, this particular unit appears to have elements that match on screen to the scene in which Ripley threw the rifle to the ground after burning the various failed Ripley clones.
The weapon is made primarily of fibreglass and features rubber and metal dressing components running along the barrels. To create the pilot flame effect, gas was piped into a tube run through the length of the weapon to the nozzle beneath the top barrel, which had an interchangeable head for use on screen. This head was replaced with the standard non-practical AR-2 version after this sequence was filmed. A Surefire tactical light, activated by a switch built into the body of the weapon, is fitted into the weapon’s front grip.

A working electronic counter is fitted at the top of the receiver. Powered by a 9V battery within the upper barrel, the readout counts down when the lower trigger is pulled.

The rifle is well-used and shows production wear, including a large crack through the receiver—likely caused by Weaver dropping the piece in the scene—which was repaired during the production. Dimensions: 9 cm x 100 cm x 27 cm (3½” x 39½” x 10¾”)
