The assault rifles in Total Recall are Ruger Mini-14s in aftermarket
bullpup stocks: the SMGs are Ingram M-11s dressed up with full-size
handguards, although Richter uses a straight M-11 and his grey-haired
tech has an Armaloyed Mini-Uzi. The pistols are Claridge Hi-Tec C-9s.
A few "stock" MP-5s appear as well, as does at least one Calico 950.

Most of those are easy, but the rifles confused me seemingly forever...

And we all know that in Aliens, the M41 pulse rifle is a Thompson SMG
with a Franchi SPAS (not the 12, a more compact version) underneath,
the flamethrowers are modified M-16s, the heavy weapons are MG42s on
Tyler mounts and the standard pistol is the Heckler and Koch VP70...

When you have shot and killed a man, you have defined your attitude towards
him. You have offered a definite answer to a definite problem. For better
or for worse, you have acted decisively.
In fact, the next move is up to him.
