V1 A fictional futuristic [[weapon]] that first appeared in the [[Aliens]] action and horror [[science fiction]] film from the 80s.

The [b]ARMAT M41A Pulse Rifle[/b] is the standard issue combat rifle of the [[Colonial Marine]] Corps.

It is made of advanced lightweight and highly resistant alloys and is also equipped with a digital ammo counter and a progressive trigger. Given its small size, high rate of fire, accuracy and caliber is used both as an [[assault rifle]] and a [[submachine gun]]. The M41 uses 99 round caseless ammunition magazines and fires a 10 mm armor piercing projectile.

It is an advanced firearm that is best used in short controlled bursts given its rapidly depleting ammunition due to a very high rate of fire.

Each Pulse Rifle also possess an underslung 30 mm integrated grenade launcher with a 4 round capacity. It is able to fire standard explosive, HE and incendiary grenade rounds.

In [[real life]] the M41 prop was designed by "Stan Winston":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Winston and [[James Cameron]] in the mid eighties using parts from a [[Thompson submachine gun]] and a [[SPAS-12]].
