Aliens Pulse Rifle IRL

Post by Pogo »

Hey gang,
Check this out, a fully functional (fires live ammo) version of the M41-A pulse rifle from "Aliens". Made from an actual Thompson, like the ones in the movie.

Nice! lots of :machinegun: with that. But does the digital rnd counter work :confused:
I invite everyone to come to the range with me. It's as simple as letting me know what day you want to meet up.

Yep! The digital counter works! They built something similar to that a number of years ago. It goes off a toggle attached to the bolt, and when you "reload", pulling the mag resets it to "zero".

If that brings the weight DOWN on the Tommy gun? Then that would be an interesting configuration... :clap:
