The '''"M41A Pulse Rifle"''' is a fictional firearm created for the world of ''[[Aliens]]''.  As described and seen in the film, this rifle is usually fitted with a 100 round magazine loaded with 10x24mm, explosive tip, caseless, light armor-piercing rounds, although supposedly downloaded to 99 to prevent stoppages.  In addition, the Pulse rifle is fitted with an underslung pump-action 4 shot 30mm grenade launcher. The prop (which was constructed from a sketch by ''Aliens'' director [[James Cameron]]) was composed of an aluminium shroud, an [[M1 Thompson]] for the main gun and a [[Remington 870]] as the grenade launcher, which was mounted underneath and uses a cut down forend and heatshield of [[Franchi SPAS-12]] shotgun over the 870's action.
