Aliens Sentry Guns
I loved the addition of the sentry guns in the Director's Cut of Aliens, but after watching the film yesterday something made me wonder. Why did they put two sentry guns in the service tunnel when the xenos had no way of getting past the pressure door? If somebody could explain this to me I would be very grateful.

To create a chokepoint - one narrow means of access that if breached would require them to escape as is what eventually happens.
Think 4 player command and conquer, rather than deal with your enemies coming from one of three directions you heavily defend and block two of the three accessways to your base, thus leaving one path into your base, which if narrow enough can be easily defended with little effort!
