(Deep Rising) - M1-L1 Triple-Pulse Rifle
The M1-L1 Triple-Pulse Rifle was a fictional automatic weapon used by a crew of pirates led by Hanover (Wes Studi) in the movie Deep Rising. It had a rotating cluster of 5 barrels and was described by Hanover as being water-tight, air-cooled, and feeding from a 1,000-round magazine (which is impossible in real life). The weapons' caliber is never stated, but during one scene where the guns are fired by the pirates, 5.56x45mm (.223 Remington) brass is shown dropping at their feet. It was also described as being manufactured in the People's Republic of China (the crates containing the weapons were adorned with Mandarin characters).
In reality, the prop M1-L1 rifles were built upon Calico M955A submachine guns (chambered in 9x19mm) and outfitted with 100 round helical magazines, and the rotating barrels on the weapons were not functional (they were fitted around the real barrel of the Calico, and were rigged to spin when the trigger was pulled, hence giving the illusion that the weapon fired through them).
