I'm looking for the M41-A Pulse Rifle from the movie Aliens, I seen someone had one here, Is there anywhere i can buy it? Or even kits to make one?

Cheers

You can get the kit to turn a TM Tommy gun into one on ehobby asia.

I have one, although I got incredibly lucky with the price of the resin kit as a retailer was selling one for 50% discount at
Berget 6 in 2008 (€150). You need a donor thompson AEG - I used a CYMA - and a G&P M41A resin parts kit. There's a lot of self-building involved.



You can find the resin kit for about £300-350 from a couple of UK retailers. At a cursory glance; Fire-support, Wolf-Armouries, Special Airsoft Supplies have kits available, and Fire-support have pre-assembled ones available too (using a TM thompson) for £650.


Just noticed that Redwolf have RWC (redwolf custom) builds available too; and there's a pre-order one too. They are of course, many, many pennies (all in the US$800 range, and essentially the same as what Firesupport offer with added 'weathering' for that authentic film look)

@Lemming: Does yours use a working shotty mounted underneathe, or is it just for show?

Alas it's just for show. The "barrel" swings to one side to reveal the battery compartment.

I have ideas for a custom-build of a second one using a cut down 870 and spas-12 shroud, but tbh it's a pipe-dream more than reality given the amount of work and access to tools required. There's a guy on the internet who occasionally runs batches of CNC-component parts used to connect the thompson & shotty (for prop m41a, not airsoft per-se), but the challenge would be how to go about getting the resin shroud fabricated with custom modification to take lipos.

Battery sling? Would probably solve those issues, but wouldn't look as good

I dislike the notion of battery slings. So not if I can ever help it.

i haven't had much experience with resin in airsoft, but from warhammer (im aware im a nerd when im not running around a 3 story building shooting other people with bb guns) solid resin models (forgeworld) have a tendency to explode when shot, (i havnt shot any of my models btw but you can tell just by how fragile they feel that when shot you'd just end up with a puff of cancer)

is the resin use on the casing of this replica not just as vunerable?

It's "beat the other guy like it's a club" resin, not solid resin of the sort you're thinking.
