The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Howdy,

Does anyone know if this pulse rifle kit is a recast or have any knowledge of the seller?

Looks like a possible HCG recast, I may be wrong though.

It's definitely not an HCG copy, but from the softness of the grenade launcher/Spas 12 slots it looks likely to be a cast of a resin and vacuum formed PR - I'm thinking the Star Arms or something like that. Willie?

Thanks Simon and Harry.

At the end of the day if it's likely to be a recast I'll avoid it like the plague.

You don't very often see pulse rifles come up for sale on this side of the pond so was hoping it may be somebody doing there own 3d printed kit...ah well ya live in hope ;)
