M41-A Pulse Rifle – TK560.com

Some sci-fi props are cool, some are neat, and some are just plain corny. To qualify for cool, the prop has to strike a special nerve for me. The M41-A Pulse Rifle is such a prop. As seen in the 1986 movie “Aliens”, this prop became an instant classic. With is fully functional hero models that fired 45 cal. blanks, and 12 guage shot gun rounds, to the ultra-slick O.D. green shrounds, this prop is the rare weapon that could actually do what it appeared to do in the movie! Shoot! This ain’t no raygun, baby!

Made from three real world weapons, the M41-A even has a cool sounding name. The M1A1 Thompson makes up the bulk of the weapon, and the Remington 870 shotgun is the guts for the “grenade launcher”. Carefully hidden inside a SPAS-12 heat shield cage and pump handle. The filming hero prop was made with a metal shroud, and is truly a work of art.

What follows on this page is my online diary of the construction of the M41-A. Although it is made like the filming props, all the firearms had been deactivated, and can never fire a live round again. As per BATF requirements.

Or about a grand for the Airsoft version:

Check out the Immersive Media street-scanning car – Engadget

It looks like Immersive Media wanted to remove all doubt about what that street-traversing fleet of theirs really looks like. There’s obviously more than one vehicle scanning in streets across the US, but now you know what to look out for — and you little punks in the audience now realize just how tantalizing a target that little 11 camera orb on the roof really happens to be.

CB2 Child Robot is possibly the most disturbing machine ever built – Engadget

Imagine if someone, somewhere managed to find the exact formula for producing the most perfectly awful example of the uncanny valley (say, for a horror movie or something). Now, accept the fact that this organization is the Japanese Science and Technology Agency, and that they managed to produce the most disturbing machine you’ve ever seen, without even realizing it. The 33 kilogram CB2 is literally beyond words in its freakiness, not only in its nailing of the uncanny valley, but in its description. Apparently it emulates “the physical ability of a 1- or 2-year-old toddler, can turn over and stand up with assistance,” has 51 compressed air-powered actuators, and has 200 tactile sensors in its “skin.” It sends so many shivers up our spine to think of the CB2’s lifeless putty coating as “skin” that it’s a wonder we’re even able to continue typing.
