ALIENS (1986) - M41A Pulse Rifle
An M41A Pulse Rifle from James Cameron's action sci-fi sequel Aliens. Pulse Rifles were used by the Colonial Marines when they searched Hadley's Hope for survivors. Lightweight resin Pulse Rifles were used frequently during production as they were easier for actors to handle and more suitable for action sequences. The lightweight cast versions can be identified specifically in the film as well as behind-the-scenes stills.

Made of resin, expanding foam, and wood, this lightweight prop rifle was designed by director James Cameron and realized by Simon Atherton, the head of movie armourers Bapty and Co. The rifle is designed around a World War II era M1A1 Thompson submachine gun with a SPAS-12 shotgun cage below the barrel to simulate a grenade launcher. The piece is painted 'Brown Bess' and black. This example is the first unmodified Aliens Pulse Rifle offered at auction in over a decade. Showing light wear to the paint due to production use and age, the piece remains in very fine condition. Dimensions: 69 cm x 8 cm x 25 cm (27'' x 3'' x 9 3/4'')
