I always wondered why they didn't mount a M-240 or something like that on a steadycam arm. The SmartGun from Aliens was actually an M-60 with a bunch of extra crap on it to make it look different.

WAG, (actually ,wild educated guess), but the recoil's probably too much to handle and would make it prohibitively heavy. The steadicam relies on a counterweight to damp movements - to dampen recoil would take a huge weight.
Some bright fellow'll probably come up with a system that combines electric ignition (for precision) and counterweights to make it happen. We need another John Moses Browning.
Where's that f#cker who managed to repair Apollo 13 with a dirty sock and some duct tape? Put him on it...
MacGyver? He's working on the Stargates now, I guess.

Maybe I should apply my ME degree to weapon design. Anyone who has seen the inside of my garage/workshop has a feel for what kind of crap I cook up.
Actually it was a German MG-42 on a steady-cam rig.
The flame throwers were M-16s
The Pulse Rifles were Thompsons and Remington 870s

There is no such thing as too much Halo 2.
