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!

Sorry if this has been discussed before but has anyone seen or had any dealings with these pulse rifles? Look expensive but the description looks good.

That is just "auctionsherpa". Search his name here and on the rpf. He isn't a 'scammer' nor 'recaster' per say, but he greatly exaggerates his product while basically just flipping other people's stuff.

In the case of his "hand made" "best ever" pulse rifles, they are Matsuo's rifles or HCG rifles with some Matsuo parts added. He usually doesn't even have them in hand. He was just on the same wait lists anyone could get on by getting in touch with Matsuo directly, only this guys charged triple to the end user in order to act as the middle man without even reducing the long wait time.

His greatest hits include selling common US Army canteen straps and calls them "accurate pulse rifle slings" (which I see he is still doing on that very website!), selling the wrong model GridCase laptop claiming it to be correct, and re-selling spat grenades that he sanded with sand-paper instead of steal wool (so they look like crap instead of shiny).

He has been through half a dozen names on ebay, etsy, dudeiwantthat.com. The ways to spot him are use of the same pictures over and over (usually from Matsuo's blog). You'll know for sure you are dealing with him when you question any of his claims and a profanity laced response is the answer.

Again, not doing anything 'illegal', just doing it scummy. A real class act...

Agh I see, the way he described it I thought the parts had been machined and the rifles hand built but seems like he is just buying everyone's parts and building hero versions at a extortionate price then. Good to know

HAHA I like how he says "all steel" then mentions the shrouds are aluminum.

I can vouch for the other people here as well; I'd stay away from him.
