A "M5 Cranker" (short for "Mark 5 Cranker") is a type of high-tech sawn-off shotgun used by the United States Colonial Marine Corps for short range combat.[1]
History[]
In the wake of the devastating Alien-Earth War, Captain Alexandra Kozlowski of the United States Colonial Marine Corps led her 69th Platoon on a mission to clear out a Xenomorph infestation in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
As they entered the cramped confines of the hive itself, Captain Kozlowski instructed two soldiers armed with M5 Cranker shotguns to take point.
