(Starship Troopers) - Morita Rifle Series
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
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 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.
This weapon is used by the following actors:
- Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers
- Jake Busey as Ace Levy in Starship Troopers
- Dina Meyer as Dizzy Flores in Starship Troopers
- Various actors playing Mobile Infantry soldiers in Starship Troopers
