"Tried this gun at Evike.com super store. Its sick! Very detailed replica of the pulse rifle. It use hicap, long barrel, can be upgraded fully and not too heavy. I probably won't use it in a game if I buy it since its so nice, but there shouldn't be any reason for it to cost you tactical advantages in a game.

"This is the most amazing thing I have ever own and fired. Did you know this gun is as milsim as any others? Try googling Pulse rifle, this is modeled after a real bullet firing gun rather than just a movie prop!! Or they built it after the movie maybe?

"AN AWESOME BUY!
If you complain about the shotgun function being none functional you are out of your minds. There are no Alien pulse rifle in the world that is off the shelf with a working shotgun, besides, I prefer my battery going there anyways over a shotgun that I will never use. I am however, hoping to rig a madbull grenade launcher in there as my next project. The previous model is retailed well over $1000 without the quality, performance and durability of this model by Matrix. This Matrix model wins in all directions, angles and areas.
Now, lets talk about the gearbox and firing, it is far more than an amazing wall decorative piece. Although I can see many buying it for that purpose. The thompson internal looks like it may be OEM by CYMA or King Arms. Metal gearbox, metal gears, all nicely built with a very strong torque motor. The rate of fire is about 15 rounds per second with my 9.6V battery and it is DEAD ACCURATE I tell you.
The bullet counter works like a charm. Probably the coolest thing on the field if you are out there to show off.
Think twice about hanging this on the wall, I have used it in many CQB matches and this rifle have served me well in both battle advantages and attention grabbing. After-all, it is an Alien Pulse Rifle!!

"I used to be a big airsoft player, and i still collect rifles if i can. I was injured as a rescue worker on 9/11, at the world trade center, and lost a good deal of lung function. I would love to play more airsoft, but i'll have to settle for my old collection. I also have a collection of alien memorabilia, from the movie franchise. Since becoming disabled, i don't have the money to collect that stuff anymore. I just wanted you guys to know that i appreciate a company selling a more affordable version of the M41a pulse rifle. Maybe someday i can buy one again!! You have given me hope!!

"As a fan of the Aliens M41A Pulse Rifle, I have been waiting quite a while for an affordable, operable example of this movie icon to become available. This release by Matrix has definitely satisfied that desire with a fine product that is accurate and robust.
This gun shoots with all the power and accuracy you expect from the Thompson, which of course is what it's built around. The ammo counter works flawlessly and has an on/off switch in the magazine well to conserve the 9v battery (also housed in the well) when not in use.
No instructions. I did not consider this a problem, as I was able to easily figure out all functions.
Overall I give this gun a 9/10.

"i got this gun for christmas. its a good gun, really cool looking, but it is not very sturdy. it feels loose, but ive managed to tighten it up for now. also it comes with a 8.4 1200mah, when it should have 8.4 1600 mah.

"I love the look of this piece and for the money I think it is well worth it. I am really never going to use this as an airsoft gun. I bought it was a wall hanger and will probably shoot a couple cans and that will be that.
There are only a couple of things annoying about this. First off, mine has the problem where the shotgun shell is exposed when the pump handle is all the way forward. I contacted tech support, they told me that they really didn't have enough other people with this problem to troubleshoot it and I should look into getting another one as an exchange. I personally know 3 people who had this problem and I see another review above mine where they did as well.
The one I got was fine as far as rattling and loose parts go.
I also can't stress enough how much this needs a manual!Coming from someone who has zero airsoft experience, I can say figuring out what everything was supposed to do and even getting it to fire took a good amount of time.
I give this a 4/5 just on price alone.

"The M41A1 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle
I was very excited to see this box sitting on my pouch when I arrived home, so I quickly tore into it to see my new Matrix Aliens Pulse Rifle. I was really very pleased with my initial look. The plastic cosmetic sheath is a really nice dark earthen green. Not a bright obnoxious olive drab like older DIY kits came with. The rifle has a really nice heft, owing mostly to the solid M1A1 Thompson used as a base for this gun. Picking up the rifle I noticed that the pistol grip has a bit of a wobble which is concerning, a little bit of epoxy though should solve that problem.
The metal heat sink around the primary barrel also shifts a bit too, producing a rather annoying clank. Again, epoxy glue to the rescue. Checking out the racking feature on the cosmetic under/over grenade launcher I was disappointed to find the dust cover had been installed too far back. So that when in a closed position I can still see the red shot gun shell underneath. The entire under/over shot gun is also made of a light plastic, and easily feels like it would be the first part of this gun to break.
Battery installation is easy and straight forward, as described in the video. I put a 9 volt battery into the spot that should control the LED ammo counter; however, to very disappointment the LED counter did not turn on. Now, it could be that the 9 volts I tried out were close to dead or completely dead. So I'll be going out to buy some fresh batteries ASAP.
The magazine well is easy to access and fairly easy to switch out magazines once you get the hang of it. And the stock is a really nice bent aluminum, it feels solid in all three positions and coupled with the angled mag well makes this rifle surprisingly ergonomic to handle. Over all I bought this gun as a collector�s piece, though I may field it once or twice. And as a collector's piece goes it's really nice, and is a unique addition to any collection. I recommend the M41A1 Pulse Rifle to any true Aliens and Airsoft fan.
Pros:
-Heavy Solid Construction with lots of metal parts.
-Beautiful finish and color choices.
-Shoots nicely right out of the box.
-Fantastic representation of the Aliens Pulse Rifle.
-Novelty LED Ammunition Counter.
-Shipped securely and nicely.
Cons:
-Under/Over Cosmetic grenade launcher feels fragile.
-Novelty shotgun charging installed incorrectly.
-Pistol grip wobbles.
-Barrel heat sink wobbles.
-LED Counter did not work. (May be user error.)
-No manual/Trouble shooting instructions.
-A $360.00 Gun shouldn't have this many little QC issues.
Overall I'm giving this gun a 4/5 due to its wonderful collectible status. If this were a standard airsoft gun, I would have to give it a 3/5.

"Aliens Come Alive!
The only thing I hated at first is it came with no manual, so I had to find out the switches and safety on my own, which aren't labeled!
But:
PROS:
- shoots nice and straight like, with about 150 effective feet w .20 bbs
- ALIENS ammo counter
- realistic weight
- great price
CONS:
- No Manual
- No aiming sights
NEUTRAL: The mag has to be kept in a compartment, with the counter battery, but no biggie.
All in all, I give this gun a 9.25/10, since it had no manual.
It even comes with a free 8.4 v battery!

"I bought this as a novelty gun until my Stoner broke. It preformed very well but there are some cons
Pros:
Working LED Counter
Good stock
Solid Plastic
Looks Like The Real Thing
Cons
hard to aim
sounds really bad
hard to load
you have to take the plate off to wind the mag JUST SEND IT WITH A MID CAP
I bought a mid cap to fix my problems and upgraded the motor
