What guns for alien invasions? [not serious, don't flame me]

I'd use my Beretta U22 Neos - it even looks like a ray gun!

Personally I would take a 100 ton Atlas Battlemech loaded down with autocannons, lasers, missile launchers, maybe even the odd Particle Projection Cannon. Oh yeah, and plenty of anti-infantry machine guns (double damage vs infantry)
Heck, If I ran out of ammo I could just stomp em all.... little green men are squishy.

I was thinking of that scene (IIRC it's an "extended scene" that didn't make the theatrical release…) when I read about the "Manjacks" in John Ringo's Posleen war series.
In his book Manjacks were M60's with an automated video targeting system on a tripod.
Very useful against an enemy that uses hum..., well alien-wave attacks.
It always seems dumb to have species that are capable of crossing interstellar space slugging it out "blood n guts" style with less discipline than Civil War era-troops like in that abortion on film "Starship Troopers".
However, John Ringo at least puts a decent rationale as to why his aliens fight that way, and has his human protagonists try to exploit it every chance they get.

I plan on trapping them. I'll deep-fry a few for testing samples, I'll also have sausage and jerkey made with some of them, and I'll make head cheese from that large, bulbous head. If palletable, I'll start a breeding program. I'll also see if their hide is marketable. I have big hopes for them if and when they come.

True, it would be better tactics to abduct a few people (or even animals), give them a genetically modified super-virus and let them go. Then they could come back in twenty years and set up shop.
Thankfully, the aliens haven't thought of that, so rest assured that they will land their advanced superluminal spaceships on the ground and march out of them in formations like Hollywood depicts.
In this more likely case, we should consider some sort of plastic bullet, or another lightweight design like the MagSafe series. This is because the aliens, due to their extensive time in space, have developed insufficient bone and body mass for our hollowpoints to open up. And we all know that a 9mm that fails to expand is useless...

I'd start with a heavily customized Old Dog. A stealth, souped up, uber-bad*** B-52, further refitted with even more and bigger weaponry. (See Dale Brown's novels.)

Has anyone else here ever read Armor, by John Steakley?
I'll take a L-1625 Scout.

You, sir are an entrepeneur
99% of THR contributors would just leave the carcass to rot :banghead:
which is wasteful
Also, it has been my experience that aliens don't make good jerky, they have a texture not unlike squid and do make a great "calamari" type of dish, however.
Scramble up some pork brains in milk gravy over alien cutlets for a real tast treat.
Let me know how the hide-tanning works out

rebuilt Yamato (sp?) class battleship, Wave motion gun mandatory.
small scale - a good mortar team and a great engineer squad with a crapload of antipersonel/antiarmor land mines and razor wire. Add a sentry gun/machine gun or two for best effect. 99% of the movie aliens would not manage a minefield or indirect fire. (hell the cruise war of the worlds would have been a lot less dramatic if out in the country the military gave those walkers mines to step on, and aliens would have been a lot less fun for the aliens with razorwire and mines to back up the sentry guns)
Ma deuce on appropriate transport for post battle cleanup

Claymore mines and a cavalry saber.
To paraphrase Ghengis Khan:
"Built a pyramid out of alien skulls"
Steelhead: I don't know if I wanna know, where and how you store all the snot you'll need to fill all those supersoakers.
