Pulse Rifle is a type of weapon used in the Future War in Rise of the Machines timeline as well as Kyla's World.
There are two known types of Pulse Rifle:
- M25 Plasma Pulse Rifle, a plasma rifle utilized by Resistance.[1]
- M41 Pulse Rifle, one of T-X Terminatrix's onboard weapons.[2]
Alien Universe[]
The M41A Pulse Rifle is the standard issue weapon of the United States Colonial Marine Corps within the Alien universe. An M41A Pulse Rifle fires 10mm caseless, armor piercing, high-explosive ammunition and includes a "pump-shotgun" style 30mm grenade launcher in an over-under configuration.
Notes[]
- It is unknown if M25 Plasma Pulse Rifle is a new weapon in Rise of the Machines timelines, or an equivalent of M-25 Plasma Rifle or M-25 Phased Plasma Pulse-Gun as seen in Original timeline.
Behind the Scene[]
- M41 Pulse Rifle is a reference to the M41A Pulse Rifle, which is a fictional weapon from the Alien franchise and it is designed by James Cameron. The prop used in Aliens and later movies is a hybrid of several actual firearms, including Thompson SMG, SPAS-12, Remington 870, finished with a futuristic aluminium shell.
- There are no specific technical details for the Pulse Rifle, as it is a completely fictitious and generic weapon used in many movies, comic books, etc. Its appearances include movies, video games, and franchises that were created, or co-written by James Cameron (Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Heavy Metal), Todd McFarlane (Spider Man), John Romero (Quake), and George Lucas (THX-1138).[Confirmation needed] Any technical details found about the weapon are most likely related to the Alien franchise, as its other appearances are merely incidental and used as a basic-stock futuristic weapon; not important enough to the franchise to detail.
