The Morita rifle series is a series of fictional weapons created for the movie Starship Troopers, with obvious influence from the M41A Pulse Rifle.

Morita Mk I Rifle

Morita Mk I Rifle; this example is missing the M60-style muzzle brake fitted to the rifle barrel.

The full-sized Morita rifle is used by Mobile Infantry standard/enlisted soldiers with the Morita Carbine being carried by fleet pilots and officers (See below). The weapons themselves are built around Ruger Mini-14/AC-556 rifles with an underslung short-barreled Ithaca 37 shotgun. The weapons utilize a modified Muzzelite MZ-14 bullpup stock to house the Ruger Mini-14/AC-556 rifles and the Ithaca 37 shotguns (for the Morita rifle only). The Morita rifles and carbines in the film also feature a muzzle brake from the M60 GPMG.
