Notes[]

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.
