Nerf M41A Pulse Rifle (based off the the movie Aliens)

last photo ←

This mod is not created by me but one of my friends who I talked with a lot over this project as we both wanted to make a NERF pulse rifle from Aliens. He completed his before mine which when I am finished I will also post.
Note: there is no instructions at this time to make this blaster, you may infer on what mods were done but a step by step instruction is not ready at this time and possibly will never be ready.

He made this using:
nerf LongShot Rail,
nerf Recon,
Nerf LSFG (Longshot front gun),
nerf raider stock
and other materials.

i think just by looking at the construction pics you can guess.

Oct 23, 2011. 12:55 PMharpuia (author) says:

Oct 23, 2011. 1:48 PMcurious youth says:

Maybe if you can get the comopony name off him i could contact them.

Oct 23, 2011. 2:24 PMharpuia (author) says:

I think he used lexon ploycarb sheets

Hey man I like this....I am looking to do a Proton wand or as close as I can get from Ghostbusters. The weapon attached to the back pack. So I took a look at this and it seems right up my alley. I am wondering what you would recommend gun wise, or part wise to make the proto wand

Oct 27, 2011. 8:15 PMharpuia (author) says:

well from looking at the wand, i would say a nerf gun wouldn't help very much with it, what comes to mind could be use of pvc piping and some ploy carb plus a lot of switches and stuff.

Oct 27, 2011. 8:22 PMgcochrane says:

I at least wanted it functional oh well...Tanks for the help

You should take the liberty to make yours more powerful than the stock nerf guns.

Jan 21, 2011. 8:04 PMharpuia (author) says:

This isn't a stock gun, the internals are modded so it fires farther than normanly, if you meant a homemade gun like out of pvc, it wouldn't make any sense to build it from that.

taowyman says:

hello?

Apr 24, 2011. 6:18 PM

taowyman says:

I am going to build this and most likely will make a instructable so other people can make it easier than reading this not trying to be rude but I will make instructable

Aliens is the best movie ever. Just sayin'.

Mar 22, 2011. 8:41 PMharpuia (author) says:

I agree, i am working on my own nerf pulse rifle and most likely a nerf smartgun to follow it up, i recently completed a lego form of the drop ship from the movie with working landing gears, bay, opening missile pods, wings, rotating cannon and opening cockpit. It is pretty cool.

taowyman says:

hey does your friend have the dimensions for the plastic cutouts? please ask i want to make this thank you

Apr 20, 2011. 8:01 PMharpuia (author) says:

give me an email and i can send you the full resolution picture of the blue print for the clip shroud piece.

Apr 21, 2011. 3:44 AM

taowyman says:

oh my mom doesnt want me to give you my email at all so could you EDIT the instructable with that on it please cause im going to make one thank you

Apr 18, 2011. 2:42 PM

taowyman says:

if your friend goes out in public with that he needs a orange tip for that

Apr 3, 2011. 3:14 PM

taowyman says:

how did you people get the plastic to stay together

Apr 3, 2011. 4:11 PMharpuia (author) says:

Like said above, "I did not make this, my friend made it and i posted it up for him" he probably used epoxy, super glue or some kind of plastic glue.

taowyman says:

okay thanks

totally awesome, bro. but I noticed you don't have a way of cocking the recon. is this a prop, or am I missing it? other than that, I love this mod. great job.
