Peace Through Superior Firepower Shirt
seen in Aliens
The Peace Through Superior Firepower t-shirt is printed on heather gray American Apparel t-shirts.
"Lieutenant, what do those pulse rifles fire?"
An undisputed masterpiece of the sci-fi genre, 1986's Aliens was the rare sequel to build on and outpace its predecessor (fighting words to some, we're sure...). James Cameron, the film's director, introduced a hardware fetish to the franchise (a vision he would fully flesh out two decades later in Avatar) and included amongst the multitude of exotic tech props was the suggestively titled M41A Pulse Rifle, a handle that only hinted at the weapon's raw destructiveness and physicality. Updating the conventional assault rifle for deep space encounters (of the unwanted variety), it promptly entered the pop culture lexicon (as shorthand for the tough and durable), and inspired a raft of copy cats (uh, homages) across both films and video games.
The Peace Through Superior Firewpower design features this iconic weapon in its illustrated glory, juxtaposed with a snippet of cocksure sloganeering. Worn by Pvt. Frost, one of the film's ill-fated Space Marines, in an early sequence on the U.S.S. Sulaco, our team of graphic artists have carefully recreated the outlines of the sketch, along with the text's distinctive font and alignment. Staying true to the source material, we've had this printed on a heather gray American Apparel t-shirt, which lends it a vintage appearance.
