    from memory there is a lot of work for the shotty and i mean a lot...i think you need to get the original franchi metal housing and grip, modify it. the really sad thing is i got in contact with a guy in switzerland a few years back who was selling them for like 50 dollars, but i could not import them because of the firearms law here, and it was only the housing and grip... if you have one of them its much easier. they have to make the plastic thicker to give it strength and thats where you get into a lot of dremmelling. the problem is franchii dont make that anymore and they are super sought after by shotgun lovers the world over. the remington 870 is the only one that works (again from memory) due to the trigger position and that it loads on the bottom but you are still left with the issue of where to put the battery. i might try and wrangle one of the small lipo ones in there somewhere....

    i think they are still selling the kits, although they are hard to get. That was one of the reason s i bought it years ago, i knew they would stop making them and i didnt want to be left without one.

    i will get the mag mod as soon as i can...and then spray it the right colour. and i have a close approximation of the strap as well, altho i am not sure the rear stock would support the weight, for some reason there is a big aluminium block in the front, which migh put a lit of strain on it...

    Id love to have that., and i use it too., :D
    it looks like it could be made up easily enough though, i have that front handgrip/launcher thing from an old springer shotgun, its suprising how close it is, and you can buy those counters in maplin for about 15yoyo's. I put one on the lil fellas minimoto.,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭0ubliette


    oh god.....want it SO BADLY!!

    you need to bring around a tape recorder with the pulse rifle sound on it tho and play that sound whenever you fire it, cause as we all know, the pulse rifles coolest feature was the awesome sound it made :D

    well strange as it may seem for the models, not the airsoft one, there is a company who does that...

    never saw these before http://www.aspeng.com/



    there is another company that does special light effects, they do a working model of the tracker, the pulse rifle, bladerunner gun sounds and lights, ghostbuster sounds and lights, star wars kits...i will try and find them if anyone wants them...not cheap tho...

    over the years i got a lot of these sites but be advised...you are dealing with people who treat these subjects like a religion...so be careful what you ask for

    Fantastic work Falls ... I'd love to have a go. *Drools*.

    For other movie mods "Game over ... Game over man!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭johnser


    Thats the biz. When in the States a few years ago, there was a shop in 3rd Street Mall in Santa Monica selling two versions of the M41, one which was baised on the RS Tompson, and fired blanks and another static model.

    Both were very fantasic, good to see its still alive.

    I wonder how good it is in CQB?

    "I keep this on hand for close encounters".




    See what you started!?

    I wonder how good it is in CQB?

    Depends on whether its night or day.

    Cos they mostly come out at night. Mostly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    Maybe We Got Them Demoralised!!

    Lol

    IIRC, the camo is nigh-on impossible to get these days?

    And come to think of it, there was a lad in school with me who had the tech. manual. It detailed all the guns & vehicles and what-not. The old Aliens comics (I have them) used to have tech. spec pages as well, but nothing near as detailed as the manual. Not sure if I have a copy [of the manual] somewhere. I do remember picking it up in Scotland one year to look at. I'm fairly certain I'd remember having it though.

    But yes, back to the pulse-rifle. Falls, that is just the uber-sexeh. I wants it!! And I still haven't forgotten about the M56 either. Yes I also have a fair idea of the full cost ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    yep the smart gun is the uber elite...

    as for the comics dude...you want to check them out you maybe suprised what they are worth now...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,178 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    as for the comics dude...you want to check them out you maybe suprised what they are worth now...

    Sorry to go a bit off-tangent. I'll keep it short.

    There are two different 'era' of comic so to speak.

    The original Dark Horse ones which were incredibly dark, violent, and full of very graphic splatterings (guys having their brains punched out through the front of their heads, etc. you get the idea ...) and gratutitious swearing. You can get the stories in graphic novel format now, notably:
    • Aliens Book One: Black & White novel telling the story of how the Aliens over-run earth (set 10 years pre-comic if you will).
    • Aliens Book Two: Covers the story in comic issues 1-6, with a USMC general trying to build an army of 'controllable' Aliens. Quite crazy stuff. Hicks & Newt (a bit more grown up) are in it.
    • The Amazing Earth War: pics up after the end of book two, with the return of Ripley and the attempt to reclaim earth. Lots of nukes get used since Ripley's involved ;)

    issue 7 of the original series (Earth War #1) also introduced the fantastic original 'Aliens Vs. Predator' story with human colonists stuck in the middle, which you can also now get in graphic novel format.

    After that, the Aliens comics took a bit of a strange (and sh*t) turn fora while under a new art-house whom i can't remember, and then got back on track with a conspiracy story following a bunch of USMC soldiers thrown into a 'punishment' detail for being general f*ck-ups and finding themselves bang-smack in the middle of all manner of crazy stuff.

    There's a few more AvP stories out there - several of which pick up after the original.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    i know bugger all on the comics --they sound like a cool collection dude, but might be worth a few hours on google to find out dude...

    Obviosuly not canon then, since Hicks and Newt died in A3. Or did they explain that away with clones or something ?
