There is something that we are obsessing right now in terms of prop guns in movies that we want to see in airsoft form --- the F44AA Pulse Rifle in the Alien: Romulus movie. The movie is a hit right in the big screen, though it is still a debate amongst us if it is up there with the Aliens (1986) where Sigourney Weaver playing as Ellen Ripley was in her most badass form. That movie also had one of the most iconic sci-fi gun props ever, the US Colonial Marine M41A Pulse Rifle.

The US Colonial Marine M41A Pulse Rifle already has an airsoft version, starting with the conversion kit that uses the Tokyo Marui Thompson M1A1 AEG as base gun. But airsoft players now can order a more complete M41A Pulse Rifle with the Snow Wolf Aliens M41A Pulse Rifle that is widely available, removing the headache of putting one together.

With the F44AA Pulse Rifle, it is mentioned that is an experimental version that has better features than the M41A Pulse Rifle which was released after the F44AA given that Alien: Romulus took place between Alien (1979) and Aliens. The F44AA Pulse Rifle, a Weyland-Yutani Corporation weapon, was equipped with auto-assist aiming and safety features, it has a capacity if 450 rounds making some gun enthusiasts the size of the rounds that can be fit at any one time.

At first glance, airsoft players will immediately think that the F44AA Pulse Rifle is based on the Krytac KRISS Vector Alpine version and given a much more weathered/used look. If airsoft custom gunmakers want to make an airsoft version of the F44AA Pulse Rifle, they can check the Nitro.vo KRISS Vector Handguards from Laylax and make a custom carry handle with an aiming assist computer. Some airsoft players fitted the G36 carry handle on the KRISS Vector.

As for the stock it looks like a melding of the KRISS Vector DS150 stock and Mission First Tactical AR Stock. But it will take a lot of work to make it look similar to the gun prop.

But relying on screenshots from the movies to make the custom gun may not help much. The next best thing is to get a replica completed gun prop as it is a 1:1 scale. The Alien Romulus Life Size Pulse Rifle HCG Exclusive Weathered Edition by the Hollywood Collectibles Group costs US$699.95.

Crafted from 3D scans of the original Hero Prop, this replica captures every nuance and intricate detail of the weapon. From the HUD sighting system to the digital round counter, no aspect has been overlooked. It is constructed from high-quality fiberglass and mixed media; the Pulse Rifle replica is both durable and realistic. Its life-size design, measuring 71 cm in length. The included table-top display base allows collectors to display this stunning piece prominently in their collection.

As a strictly limited edition with only 750 pieces available worldwide, the Alien: Romulus Pulse Rifle Prop Replica is individually numbered, adding to its uniqueness and exclusivity.

Hopefully, an airsoft manufacturer has taken interest in making one for airsoft players and collectors.
