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!

"Not for sale" or "not for sale (yet)"? I mean, this is a gun manufacturing company testing the waters, right?

Maybe if there was more of a demand.

Thanks!

Their site still says, "MAX-41A will not be going into production. Due to the personal time and effort it would require to produce them, even in small quantities, it would not be a good investment of resources. We have other new products to design, manufacture and sell and this project would just delay them." I wonder why they uploaded new videos.

I would post more pics just because it was accomplished. Shops get their names out there thru projects like this. This could lead to more commission work outside of pulse rifles because they were able to make it happen. I would still be in line throwing money if this panned out.

Thanks!

Greg

So how hard would it be to slap alluminum shrouds on a 9mm M-11 (as Lage has done here)? I'd swap the working shotgun for a springloaded dummy grenade launching rig as that's what it was supposed to be

Not as easy as you would think. The interior would have to be fitted for the exterior of the specific weapon. Also, that M-11 is a class 3 weapon, so you're talking a bunch of hassles right there. You would probably have an easier time putting aluminium shrouds on a real Thompson. You can legally get semi auto versions of those, albeit not exactly cheaply.

I agree with Greg this is not a project they are doing to make a production of. This is to show off what they can do.
