The Infographics Show, YOU vs XENOMORPH - How Can You Defeat and Survive It (Alien Movie)

YOU vs XENOMORPH - How Can You Defeat and Survive It (Alien Movie)

Imagine you are happily cruising along space in your very own mining ship when suddenly

you pick up a faint distress signal from far away.

Checking your spaceship's digital atlas, you discover that the signal is coming from a

colony on a planet called “LV-426”- hmm, where have you heard that name before?

Landing on this distant moon you exit your spaceship hoping to rescue some desperate

colonists- only to come face to face with the galaxy's most formidable predator.

Hello and welcome to another special episode of The Infographics Show- today we're putting

you up against the most perfect organism in the universe in, Could you defeat it?

You vs a xenomorph.

Xenomorphs, or Aliens, are a parasitic species who's real origins are unclear.

Some believe that Xenos were genetically engineered by an ancient space-faring civilization known

as the Engineers, or Mala'kak.

The Mala'kak may have used Xenomorphs to terraform planets by wiping out all large species and

then starting fresh with their own genetically engineered creations, or they may simply have

been a biological weapon meant to 'disinfect' experiments they think went wrong, or to use

against their enemies.

Others however believe that Xenomorphs evolved in a dark, distant corner of the galaxy and

were discovered by the Engineers and other space-faring civilizations.

Though their origin remains a mystery, we have enough experience with xenomorphs to

have learned a lot about them as a species.

The Xenomorph life cycle begins with an egg which contains a short-lived organism known

as a Facehugger.

Upon detecting the pheromones of an approaching host, the egg will awaken the facehugger within,

which immediately attacks the would-be host and attempts to latch onto an orifice so it

can deposit a parasitic larvae inside the host- typically a host's mouth is the preferred

larva-laying route into a host, but given their adaptability to different hosts across

the galaxy any orifice or even a sufficiently large wound will do.

Once inside, the larvae feeds off vital fluids, making the host incredibly hungry and forcing

it to eat more which in turn further feeds the larvae.

One sufficiently large, the larvae will then exit the host as a chestburster, so named

for their proclivity to burst directly through a host's chest.

Once free, the larvae seeks shelter somewhere dark and isolated, where by some unknown biological

process it is able to quickly mature into an adult drone at an extraordinary rate.

Xenomorphs are a eusocial species much like ants, honey bees, and other social insects,

with a clearly defined caste system.

It's thought that all members of a xeno hive are females, and at the very top of the hive

is the only fertile female: the Queen.

She is solely responsible for egg laying, and every other member of the brood is her

offspring.

Drones, or warriors, are the workhorses of the hive and are responsible for defending

the hive as well as finding prey and new hosts for the eggs.

A third caste, the Praetorians, are only produced when a hive has grown large enough to support

them.

These are the most formidable of Xenomorphs- with the exception of the Queen herself- and

act as bodyguards to the Queen.

However as they mature, Praetorians exude a scent that is different than the rest of

the hive which prompts the hive's drones to attack it and chase it away from the hive.

Once fully mature the Praetorian will return and be attacked once again, and either be

killed off by the hive or be grudgingly accepted by the Queen after suffering too many casualties

amongst her drones.

Interestingly despite this hostility, Praetorians will defend the Queen to the death.

It was originally thought that they were the only males and perhaps this process of being

chased away and forced to fight their way back proved that they were the fittest and

thus could fertilize a queen and produce a stronger hive, but after a Praetorian was

observed molting into a Queen after the loss of a hive's current Queen, this theory has

largely been discarded.

Since then its generally accepted that much like many insects and invertebrates here on

Earth, Queens are completely self-fertilizing and don't require a male partner.

Taking on an entire hive of angry xenomorphs is guaranteed death- but let's say that you

were pitted up against just one of these vicious creatures, how could you defeat it, and what

are you up against exactly?

The hide of a Xenomorph is made out of a chitin that is believed to be coated with a layer

of polarized silicon which makes it very resistant to electricity and heat.

This layer of chitin covers almost the entire body, with the exception of the joints and

the underside of the neck, and is also extremely resistant to small arms fire.

At anything but point-blank range, any caliber smaller than a 5.56 mm round will simply bounce

off.

While resistant to heat, Xenomorphs show a vulnerability to weapons such as flame throwers,

and will generally shy away from open sources of flame.

Extreme cold such as liquid nitrogen is also exceptionally effective against a Xenomorph,

and its thought that rapid changes in temperature cause the Xenomorph's chitinous armor to rapidly

contract and expand causing it great pain.

A xenomorph is also able to match the outer layers of its body with the ambient temperature,

making it invisible to being tracked by thermal imagers- this seems to suggest that Xenomorphs

evolved as predators on a cold world with little or no daylight, as this ability would

have kept them hidden from heat-sensing prey.

The lack of eye organs also seems to indicate that this is a strong possibility, and its

thought that xenomorphs track their prey by scent and electroreception much like a hammerhead

shark and many sting rays.

A Xenomorph's acidic blood poses a significant risk to any would-be attackers, as it is extremely

corrosive and capable of easily dissolving steel, aluminum, or even titanium.

Its ability to also disintegrate normally acid-resistant plastics indicates that the

blood may not be an actual acid but rather a fluid that works to break molecular bonds

in an unknown way.

So how do you kill something that can shrug off bullets and will bleed acid blood on you

even if you manage to wound it?

Fire is the most obvious and immediate answer, and for that there's no better tool than a

high-powered flame thrower.

Though most nations have discontinued their use of flamethrowers due to being ineffective

in modern combat and for the very bad press they tend to create, Russia- who traditionally

doesn't much care what the rest of the world thinks- has recently re-evaluated their use.

A 2016 US Army report notes that Russia has found the weapons useful for urban and mountain

warfare (despite being illegal by international law to use in civilian population centers),

bunker busting, and clearing light infantry.

Russia's re-adoption of the flame thrower has actually seen them add four dedicated

regiments of flamethrower units in 2014.

So it's time to make like a Russian firebat and get your hands on some sweet, Xenomorph

destroying flamethrowers.

But, it's not as easy as all that, since Xenomorphs have shown an incredible ability to adapt

and problem solve through creative means.

Sure, you might get a few blasts off with Comrade Flamethrower, but with a maximum range

of 60 feet, a Xenomorph will simply retreat and rethink its plan of attack.

Given their incredible stealth and ability to squeeze into very tight places, a Xeno

will likely simply back off and wait to literally get the drop on you (animator: have xenomorph

drop down from ceiling).

Plus flamethrowers have one weakness that quickly became obvious to most of the world's

militaries: the backpacks of pressurized and highly combustive gas make for really good,

explosive targets.

Remember a Xenomorph's acidic blood?

Well, some of them can spit it from their mouths at incredible ranges, and with its

ability to dissolve most known materials, those tanks on your back aren't going to survive

for long.

While they won't explode as the fuel still requires heat to ignite, you're going to be

left with in essence an empty squirt gun when the Xenomorph comes to eat your face off.

You might be tempted to fall back on firearms, after all despite their bullet-resistant hides,

large calibers have been proven to injure a Xenomorph.

But firearms require you to see your target and to be accurate enough to actually hit

it once you do see it, and with a Xenomorph's ability to hide in the smallest nooks and

crannies, and its incredible speed and agility, you're taking your chances going with a firearm.

We here at The Infographics Show have our favorites amongst the great engineers, philosophers,

and scientists, but when it comes time to take on a genetically perfect super-predator

from across the galaxy, there's really only one name that comes to mind: Alfred Nobel,

the father of modern explosives.

Inventing TNT in 1867, Nobel gave man the tools to literally move the earth, and set

humanity down the path of bigger and better explosions.

That path would eventually lead to the holiest of battlefield holies: the Mk-19 (narrator

note: pronounced “mark”) automatic grenade launcher.

A tripod mounted weapon, the Mk-19 fires 40 mm grenades at a rate of up to 375 rounds

per minute, and is used extensively by US armed forces for anti-personnel and anti-vehicle

operations.

With a maximum distance of 2,212 meters, and an effective point target range of 1,500 meters,

there is nowhere to hide from the rain of explosive death it unleashes.

On impact a 40mm grenade has a 100% kill ratio of up to 5 meters, with a 50% kill ratio at

10 meters, making it an unparalleled Xenomorph killing tool- and with its high rate of fire

if the first one doesn't do the job, the next three or four definitely will.

So how would you take on a deadly xenomorph?

What weapon is truly best to use against the most dangerous predator in the galaxy?
