Popular movies are usually a bad to very bad choice to base such things
on. SF movies are often worst of all, because for some reason because it's
far-future it doesn't have to obey the laws of physics. (Which IMHO is
fine for space opera, but not for the more "down and dirty" kind of SF
portrayed in Aliens.)

95 rounds of ammo, of any caliber, take up quite a lot of space, and the
Aliens weapons don't make all that much sense to me -- they're much too
big and cumbersome, although with 95 rounds they'd have to be ;)
