The epic M41A Pulse Rifle was introduced in James Cameron’s 1986 Aliens. Now, Neill Blomkamp is prepping for war in his followup that’s currently at the scripting stage.
Still, it appears Blomkamp is already in some sort of “pre-production” as he just shared the following image of a brand new Pulse Rifle rocking a “Rail Integration System.”
As explained by Wiki, RIS is a generic term for a system for attaching accessories to small firearms such as pistols, rifles and light machine guns. Common accessories include tactical lights, laser aiming modules, forward hand grips for improving weapon handling, telescopic sights for medium-ranged or distant targets, and reflex sights/red-dot sights for short to medium-ranged targets, iron sight lines, bipods, and bayonets.
It sounds like Blomkamp’s Alien, which will follow Ridley Scott’s Alien: Paradise Lost, is going to bring a full-scale war to the Xenomorphs.
