Alien Covenant had a lot of moments that the crew seemed ill trained or ill equipped to deal with the threats they faced when they landed on a planet with an earth type atmosphere. The crew landed and began to explore the planet without testing for toxins or infections. One would guess that any world not our native would have a biosphere unknown to our bodies. But the landing party just opened the door to the lander and began a walkabout without filters or sealed suits. The crew were infected with a black organic spore that infected the host and began to transform tissue and organs into proto-morph. A sick crewman was taken back aboard the landing vessel to be treated in the infirmary. Things quickly got out of control. A fast growing Neomorph bursts out of the crewman's back. The pilot scrambles for the armory after looking her fellow crewman in the lab with the face mangler. The pilot pulls an assault shotgun from the rack and starts wildly firing bursts hoping to clip the uninvited guest. She uses a heavily modified short 12 |Gauge Shotgun as pictured above. The goal of the project is a recreation of that build. Not as easy as it sounds.
