Under the Radar: Replica pulse rifle from James Cameron's greatest film, Aliens
by Jason Millward on 02/28/2010 8 comments

Eff you, rich people. I hate that people make amazing things that only you can afford. I feel so disenfranchised from the majority of the awesome system by things like this. What you're seeing here, ladies and gentlemen, is a replica of the standard armament carried by the Colonial Marine Corps. The M41A 10mm pulse-action air-cooled automatic assault rifle was often the only only thing standing between you and death on planets like LV-426 (if you don't count power loaders, drop ships, or turret guns [if you're watching the director's cut]). That kind of protection doesn't come cheap.

Alter Ego Comics has this amazing firearm available to preorder for the low, low price of $900! Isn't that a small price to pay for such an intricately crafted replica of this caliber? The shoulder stock is actually retractable. The clip is removable and when you slap it in, the LED readout registers a full clip count of 95! The pump handle for the 30mm grenade launcher actually works. Squee! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go cry on Jim Sterling's shoulder over my complete inability to afford this sucker.
