Nance's (Charlotte Riley) hero light-up exo-suit arms from Doug Liman's sci-fi action film Edge of Tomorrow. "New Jacket" exo-suits were worn by the United Defence Force (UDF) military whilst battling the alien race invading Earth. Nance wore a dual-barrel cannon launcher arm as opposed to the other triple-barrel cannons worn by her comrades.
Both arms are painted a mottled army green and made of resin and plastic with some metal components, foam padded arm supports with hook-and-loop straps, and rubber grips featuring yellow and red functional buttons. Weaponry is attached to the exteriors; the left arm has two black-painted resin cannon launchers, and the right has a black-painted biscuit foam assault rifle that features a removable resin barrel with an LED tip connected to interior wiring. When operated by a battery, this LED simulated the flashing lights of rapid gunfire but remains untested. The assault rifle and one of the cannon barrels are affixed to a sliding rig of metal channels. These weapons have a recoil mechanism that was powered by a pneumatic ram valve system. Air rams are affixed behind each gun, wiring connects these to pneumatic valves located on the arm's interior. Compressed air was supplied to these valves via the black mesh-covered rubber cables that feed out from the back of each arm. When working, this system would have caused the guns to slide up and down their metal channels, simulating rapid-fire recoil. The arm components exhibit intentional distressing to appear battle-worn, as well as additional scuffs, cracks, and dust from production use. Residue of a black sticky substance is present on the end of one arm. Dimensions: (largest) 66 cm x 30 cm x 26 cm (26" x 12" x 10 1/4")
