M41-A Pulse Uber Rifle, Recreated

Aliens fans will recognize this gun. In the original movie, the M41-A fired 45 caliber bullets, 12 gauge shot gun rounds and mini grenades. Apparently the prop wasn't just the product of sci-fi movie magic, but of real, current (80s) technologies. That's why one totally loony enlightened guy spent 18 months and $1,000 building an M41 of his own.

“The parts are difficult to find. Remaining true to the original prop construction, and remaining within the guidelines of the US law, I decided to go with as many real gun parts as possible.”

Well if I find myself holed up on a desolate planet with a bunch of Aliens wanting to 'hug' my face, I know what link to click on.
