M41-A
Pulse Rifle Poster BACKGROUND: As featured in the acclaimed sci-fi-horror, Aliens (1986), the ARMAT M41-A Pulse Rifle instantly became one of the most famous (and most believable) sci-fi weapons in movie history. The M41A is a 10 mm pulse-action air-cooled automatic assault rifle, which is the basic rifle of the U.S. Colonial Marine Corps and the U.S. Army in the Alien series of films. The standard service variant has an over-and-under configuration and incorporates a 30 mm pump-action grenade launcher for area effect. After landing on LV426 via the Sulaco and then the dropship, the Pulse Rifle and M240A1 Flame Thrower units were used by Ripley, Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez and the rest of the Colonial Marines in their struggle against the alien attackers THE POSTER: Based on a theoretical sales-drive by ARMAT Industries, following the rifle's development, this poster has been designed along the lines of those typically sent out by arms companies to prospective military and law-enforcement agencies An essential companion for the Pulse Rifle.

Questions? email eagle@eagletransporter.com BUYER FEEDBACK:       Movie history: The M41A Pulse Rifle was designed by James Cameron and built by British armorers Simon Atherton and Andrew Fletcher. The weapon was bashed from the components of three real-world firearms supplied by prop armory Bapty & Co.). The rifle component was a World War II Thompson M1A1 submachine gun whilst the grenade launcher was built around the action of a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun. The shotgun was then encased inside the shroud and foregrip of a Luigi Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun Scale replicas of the Pulse Rifle have been manufactured in recent years by the likes of Icons, SD Studios, Klingon Armourer, Fiction & Fantasy Models, Relics, Science Shop, Empire Kollectibles, Golden Age Productions, Monsters in Motion and many more...
