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!

 Post subject: Removal of orange caps Matrix Pulse Rifle

I got one of these matrix pulse rifles coming in the mail very shortly and the first thing I want to do is take off the hideous orange caps off the barrel and grenade launcher tips. Does anybody have experience doing this on this particular rifle? I need detailed information please includingThe removal of the excess glue and possible touch up paint I may need to buy

Heat (heat gun or quick soak in boiling water) then pry it off with a flat head screw driver. You probably will need to touch it up as the glue holding those thing on does take the finish with it.

- Gentle prying all the way around if you want to preserve the orange front for future use at cons.

-If you don't care about preserving it, I suggest sawing a little bit at the seem of the orange bit with a hacksaw or serrated knife. Then when you wedge the screwdriver in there and twist, it pops right off.
