Catching up:

Colin Black.
Please e-mail again. I heard you were about to embark on a personal project to build an M41A Pulse Rifle from very basic components such as wood, plastic and rubber. Regardless upon the success of your project, I was hoping to "bundle" your experience into a "How to build your own Pulse Rifle" presentation for other aliens enthusiasts.

"Thanks for the info on the site. Just got done designing my own m41-a. And mine shoots. I am using a rugger 10/22 and restocking it with a two piece frame; using wood, cardboard and fiberglass. in place of the spas I am using a m-203 flare launcher. Included is my rough draft. The m-203 front mounting will be a little hard but shouldn't be difficult. So far the cost is as follows: 10/22-$200, M203-$150, building materials-$100. Just one question how much do you think this will be worth?" You should at least recoup materials, and basic labor. But from experiance, this should be a project for fun... not profit. But I'll throw that question out to the readership - Anyone interested, please drop Jay a line.

"After reading the interesting and rather detailed info you have collected I thought you may want to include a small note that the m41-a pulse rifle made an apearance in a later james cameron film. T-2 judgement day features the rifle in the very start of the film when it shows the future battle field. Several of them appear in this scene with the addition of a rectangular scope fitted on the carry handle/sights. I just thought it was an interesting thing you may want to add to your info page." Thank you for the tidbit. Now you have me interested. I just need to find someone who can get screen-captures!

"I was refered to your site by the webmaster at www.alienscolletion.com. I have a quick review of an airsoft Pusle Rifle, made by Des Wilkerson, which is down right awsome. This is by far the best replica I have ever seen. Head over here: http://www.socalairsoft.f2s.com/pulse.htm I'm attaching two pics that I took which are also on review page." Jerry, please e-mail me the images again. They did not come through, and are no longer on the site.
