Sir, at least one H&K VP-70 appeared in the second "Aliens" movie with Sigourney Weaver and the space Marines. There's a clear shot of it in a black Marine's hand just before all heck breaks loose in the reactor room.
The Marines' rifles were actually Thompson SMGs with a prop shell covering most of the outside. The machine guns were modified M60s. The female machine gunner's pistol was either a Beretta or Taurus 92 type, and I think were were a couple other types of pistols as well. It's been awhile since I last saw the movie.
Oh, and if you want to see some "space guns," go to a high power match some time. A lot of the match rifles built on the Tubb T2K and AR platforms look like they're straight out of Han Solo's gun safe.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
