NERF ALIENS M41A Pulse Rifle... It's time for a BUG HUNT!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Hey, I want to introduce you to a personal friend of mine. It seems like Hasbro can actually put out something somewhat decent when they try! The new NERF LMTD ALIENS M41A Pulse Rifle has been lovingly recreated as a foam dart blaster, including sounds and underslung grenade launcher! Firing full-auto with both NERF ELITE and NERF MEGA darts, the blaster is far from perfect; but it's definitely everything you thought it would be. The ammo counter on the side works just like you'd expect to, and there's a few bonuses here or there that will make those who are fans of the ALIEN franchise happy with their $95 purchase. It's time for a BUG HUNT!
It seems out of stock now, but I bought this one from Gamestop: www.gamestop.com/toys-games/n...

Is this going to be a stand up fight Sir, or a bug hunt?
I say it'll be a stand up fight!
At least we ain’t using harsh language alone.
ello
Stand up fight
How about a buffet?
Really cool that they bothered to make it still have a "play" function outside of firing darts with the "dry fire sound when ammo counter hits zero" thing for when you just wanna goof off with it or show it off to friends/family.
It's also awesome that it'll shoot from 95 to zero! Fire your 10 darts then dryfire 80-85 more, depending on whether the counter was keeping up with actual darts fired!
I do wish there was a disconnect for the rev motor, so you that you can just play with the sound effects.
Also handy for cosplayers that don't want to be shooting rounds into a crowded convention floor.
I got one. It actually arrived a few weeks ago. You really hit the nail on the head with this video. The complaints are all ones I agree with, and the benefits and use cases are all ones I agree with also. I haven't opened mine yet, but at some point I want to upgrade the flywheels and cage, as well as perhaps the pusher motor. I want to make this thing into an absolute beast, and I'm excited to do so.
Im with you. Ive been waiting for the better modders to put out a video so i can throw the krakens i got laying around in it. Its killing me to not replace that spring.
This is what LMTD should be. Super cool for Nerf fans, super cool for Alien fans, and functional (kind of) gimmicks that are fun.
This blaster is so cool. Hasbro could of have made the grande launcher use mega xl. Which would be canonically accurate (30mm)
But it’d have to be a hamp so MEGA is acceptable. Additionally the ammo counter on the side, is because it’s a movie prop so the audience can see how many shots Ripley has left.
Doesn't the pulse rifle actually have a shotgun and not a grenade launcher?
@@geraltofrivia323 No, it's a 30mm grenade launcher. Everyone assumes it's a shotgun because it's pump action and it's got the heat shield, but if you watch the movie it's a grenade launcher.
And besides, I'm willing to bet that 30mm buckshot exists in universe. Given that 40mm buckshot exists in this one.
Mega xl would be canonically accurate but would make blaster not screen accurate as an Remington 870 12 gauge (Which is sightly smaller than a.75 Mega dart.) firing snap caps was used as the underbarrel grenade launcher in the flims.
@@corinthianimperialstudios704 it's supposed to be a 30mm grenade in universe but it's a modified SPAS12 shotgun in real life. The actual specs of the pulse rifle as given in the movie are physically impossible given the firing prop is based on a M1 Thompson machine gun and SPAS12 shotgun.
When a zombie sees someone running with one of these: 'Game over, man! GAME OVER!'
I got one. I'm a huge fan of Aliens and this definitely satisfied the collector in me. The performance is lacking, but easily fixed if I cared to make it high performance. Mine wasn't primed in the box but I got very similar performance. I think it has a weak system by design. Great vid Walcom!
Comparing this to the Mandalorian blaster just shows you how much the "mouse tax" adds to Disney products
Except Alien is now a Disney product
@@hellsbane666 yes it is true
@@hellsbane666 Disney applies a larger Mouse Tax to star wars stuff
Your assessment of it at 12:25 is what really convinced me of how cool and functional this particular blaster is.
Glad this blaster came out decent after the Mando blaster!
I had no real interest in ordering one of these, but it's definitely cool and I'm sure even people who aren't into the movies would be happy once having it in hand. The Motoblitz, Demolisher, and Tri Strike/Mediator parts are super cool too. I hope Hasbro continues putting out dual ammo stuff in the future.
I'm a huge Alien fan, and the M41A is my favorite scifi weapon of all time. I got around my magazine issue by opening up the yellow plastic shell, cutting just a bit of the inside, and putting it back together. that way I don't have to worry about being handed a magazine that isn't modified by a squad mate. I can't wait to boost it's FPS a little. I added a little paint weathering, iron sights, and a rail on the side for a flashlight. I think it's a great blaster, woulda been fantastic about $20 cheaper, but for the build I was planning to make an M41A, this was waaay cheaper.
Can’t wait for someone to mod this with double stacked half dart mags and a roid rage flywheel and pusher motor.
Are you trying to say that somebody will turn this from an ar into a fg42
@@jannjohannmarcial6915 double stack magazines are a feature on literally every assault rifle you fucking naziboo
@@jannjohannmarcial6915 HELL YES. Actually I might do that…
Tbh, this blaster looks awesome, and the color scheme really fits the blaster well. I wanna get this one day. The ammo counter might be useless, but it looks really awesome for cosplay.
Purchased it, stripped it down, repainted it olive drab and black with some weathering and now it lives on my fandom shelf.
Aliens… was an absolute delight to experience back in those days
I imagine the M41-A is not compatible with other Nerf magazines by design rather than oversight. It's a licensed product, designed to replicate a prop so both the license holder and the purchaser are going to want the ammo counter, mag release etc to look and function the same as the prop, regardless of usability or compatibility with existing Nerf products.
This blaster was so much more than I hoped for. The fun factor for fans of Aliens is an 11. I received mine at least 5 weeks ago, I don't know how
We got them first in Australia. The only real disappointment was the lack of power in the grenade launcher. I do agree with your critique of the nerf pulse rifle. I was so interested in it I pre-ordered two, one to mod and one as a display.
I was super jealous seeing Australians get theirs back in July and August and mine didn't show up until 2 weeks ago. I didn't even get a notice it was shipping, just noticed my account was $100 lighter one day. 4 days later it showed up.
Seeing how good this one is I can’t wait to get my Nerf Gjallarhorn
I'm happy with mine. Its pretty fun for a stock blaster. Its definitely going to be a good contender for HVZ in my book. I've already started modding some of my magazines for it. Its not perfect, but its very fun.
The toy i wish I had as a kid after watching the movie in the 80's
Wake me when Hasbro makes a Halo MA5B with the same ammo counter functionality. I'd snap that up in a heartbeat. (Well, not really because my heart would probably stop when I saw it for sale lol)
Yeah I'm surprised that's still not a thing.
Alien is the iconic spooky one. Aliens is the iconic action packed one. Both are great.
Now the last thing that we need to complete the "badass space rifles" trio we need a nerf doom plasma rifle
Naw, the BFG, firing Titan rockets at 80 FPS. :D
A DOOM plasma rifle rival blaster would be fantastic, Hasbro....
@@WalcomS7 Ooh, maybe with glow in the dark green Rival ammo? Obviously full auto flywheel...
@@Valandar2 and sound effects, maybe even that spining thing thingy in the side from the eternal version
@@WalcomS7 I'd pay $200 for it if it were GOOD, Hasbro. Give me a rechargeable battery, build it off the Nemesis/Prometheus platform with maybe 100 round capacity, throw some blue lights all over and the iconic plasma rifle sounds, and my wallet is ready.
I like to keep this handy for close encounters
I said since DAY 1 of getting into his hobby when my friend was showing me his collection "If there is one NERF blaster I would want to have, it would be an M41A pulse rifle." My friend said custom ones using a rapid strike had been made using a custom case. A couple of months later this was announced and I ordered it before even reading the features. I've wanted a replica of one of these for most of my life. And I'm VERY happy with it! Love the detail of the darts, especially the mega ones that mimic the micro grenades from the movie, although a bit bigger. I think we all knew style and feel was going to heavily outweigh the performance and I'm totally fine with that. Won't care when I take this to a NERF war and let this baby go full auto, yelling "Lets rock!"
Yep this blaster is awesome
Got this gun back in October, not a professional Nerfer and I while I don’t have them often, I wouldn’t use it in a nerf war. However, as a huge fan of the Alien movies, more specifically James Cameron’s Aliens, I do absolutely love the blaster and it is a must have for any fan. If it came with an extra magazine or could hold another magazine that wasn’t the one that came with it, I would probably use it.
I was so so so satisfied with this blaster!
I preordered two of these and got mine a few weeks back. Of course I bought one to open and one to keep in box cause that’s the kind of collector’s I am. I absolutely love the aesthetic of this blaster!! Was a-bit bummed out that I have to modify a few of my drums to make this compatible, but hey when in Rome!! I have no buyer’s remorse…. Enjoy your blaster’s my friends
“One to stock and one to rock” 😀
I got mine last Saturday and I really like it. I would have liked movie accurate sound effects though, but overall it’s worth the price. Hopefully somebody will create a better sound card for it. I’m complete opposite of you, I’m a huge fan of Aliens, and just a casual fan with nerf. My only concern, as this will be part of a cosplay, is that I’m hoping I’m able to buy more magazines for it. Not modified ones, but the specially designed one that came with it. Maybe somebody can 3d print them? Great review btw!
It always makes my day better when Walcom posts
I pre-ordered it immediately because I love aliens. So far I like mine a lot.
Mine wasn't primed out of the box but I still get about the same performance on the underbarrel.
Biggest annoyance is the mag thing so now I gotta mod all my mags.
Hopefully I can pop a new spring in the underbarrel and get some better performance. Once that's done and I mod my mags this thing will be great to run
This M-41 is awesome! Yes you can do slight modifications too it!!
Well, I pre-ordered and went looking for vids on it weeks ago and found your first one and it made me a sub. I somehow missed this. I thought you were not going to like it, but your review was perfect, and now I totally feel validated on this impulse buy! Thank you! 😜
Preordered as soon as it showed up in the pulse app, super happy with it as someone that just loves aliens and likes to collect cool toys!
Cool blaster! Thanks for the video.
Damnit I just got done making my video of this, you beat me by 20 minutes LOL
I got mine today! I picked it up as a fan of the movies. Being that I'm not into performance or operation beyond what comes as stock, I really can't complain about that end of it. But EVERYTHING else is (for me anyways) Perfect!
Initially I was planning on repainting it to be more screen accurate, now I'm on the fence.
The attention to detail with the full look and counter and sound chip, it's hard as a movie fan to complain about a M41A Nerf rifle
I'm a huge Aliens fan, saw the first one in theaters! Scared the hell outta me! lol You look back on that movie now and its not so bad, special effects still hold up though! Great video!
Mine arrived last week and I love it. I am actually debating painting it to make a proper cosplay prop out of it since it pretty well matches the dimensions of the one I handled years ago.
Out of curiosity, did you actually make a M41A prop before then? How did you do it - did you DIY it with other nerf and/or airsoft guns?
decent and very flashy blaster, quite enjoyable too.
I really like it as an aliens fan but it only fits the included magazine. I'll let the fps slide on this blaster, it's fun to play around with.
I got one and very impressed with it. The batteries run down fast though! Batteries don't come cheap especially if they are C ones! Still a great piece!
Great blaster!
Did you go to Flux Labs? They look like they had fun!
Mine was primed too. But this is still a fun collector blaster. It performs exactly how I knew it would 🥱 but I knew it would look cool. Wasn’t in my plans to use it in a battle. I have the blasters for that. My biggest complaint is that the mega blaster key was primed when I got it and the proprietary magazine. Yard battles with kids, maybe, I have my stock rapidstrike for that. This one is limited, out of stock and as a fan of the aliens series. Just fun. 🤘
That's so whacky that it's even a thing that these come from the factory primed...
This blaster is great i'm loving mine. It will satisfy pretty much anyone who buys it, it has all the features you'd want in a "Nerf Pulse Rifle" and its really fun to use and full sized. The grip is super comfortable and the rev trigger is perfectly shaped/angled. And the prime on the Mega launcher is super smooth. The packaging is also cool and actually functional. Collector's will love it, and modders can easily improve it. This was the 1 LMTD blaster I actually cared about and i'm super glad it turned out good after the Mandalorian blaster was garbage. Aliens is my favorite movie ever and I still can't believe they actually made an officially licensed Nerf Pulse Rifle replica blaster.
Walcom I hope you do a follow-up mod video on this! Maybe with Lucha?
LOL, love the point about "watching this to reaffirm your purchase" - dead on.
It coming primed from the factory won't affect the spring in any noticable way. Springs lose power from repeated cycles of compression and decompression, not from being under load for long periods of time.

Great video. Realy cool blaster. Yes love it. One of my favorite movies and one of the coolest looks Nerf blasters ever. Thanks for the fun and entertaining review. Keep up the great work. You sir ROCK
Got mine and it rocks! I would like to introduce you to a close personal friend of mine!!
Both Alien and Aliens are both equally awesome to me. One of my fav movies.
I boought one of these mainly just for the cool factor but if there is some aftermarket support for it I'd be so excited to put new internals in and get that RoF up. Potentially a chunky bass speaker and a soundboard for some more accurate sound effects and see how big a spring the underbarrel pump action can take. I think with a bit of work it could be a beast.
I got mine a month ago and I love it as I am a big Aliens fan so it was a no brainer for me. :)
I got mine a couple months ago, they released in Australia then and have been available to buy at EB Games without pre order for a while now. I have upgraded and painted mine. The mega is actually a really easy upgrade and gets 90 fps now instead of 40fps. I also made an adjustable stock. I put a Fortnite BA R cage in mine and the turbine cage fits as well, revamp motors and 2S lipo. It's really fun once upgraded.
I said the same thing on the flaws, I bought it and it IS fun lol. I kept mine and will probably mod it sometime. Great vid thanks!
"you're not watching this video to buy the thing but just to reaffirm your purchase" This is the most accurate youtube review statement I've ever heard
I received mine about 2 weeks ago. As an Aliens fan, I am content. I would be more in love with this blaster if it came with a 2nd mag at least. Also the grenade launcher should have been a 3 round internal mag, and that groove where the carry handle is should be Mega dart storage.
I got one to use as a raffle prize at a foam dart blaster shootout at a anime/cosplay con next June.
I am impressed with the design and would make a great display piece.
My grenade launcher wasn't primed in the box, can confirm the spring is just weak. That's almost more perplexing to me than the mag well. That said, I do love this thing. HUGE fan of the movie Aliens, it feels good in the hands and I really like the power loader color scheme. So overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase. That said....the price was too steep. For 60-70 I'd have been happy and not merely satisfied with my purchase but for 100 this thing should have had and adjustable stock, full mag compatibility, double the darts and a better spring for the grenade launcher, Big Shock level minimum.
I pre ordered mine a year ago as soon as it came out and I was so excited to see it! I am a huge aliens fan. I too am disappointed in the lack of adjustable stock and the magazine. But I got it for the emotional response and it’s so awesome! I hope they release i cheaper version because I want to paint that one and keep my limited as a collectors piece
personally i dont like the look much of this blaster but it is cool in the way it functions.
I love everything about mine to be honest, I would LOVE to see upgrade instructions/opening the shell without damaging it etc, and as for the stock, it would be great for it to extend.. but I cant see how without making the battery tray REALLY complex/moving it etc.
yessssssssiiirrrrr
Got me one looking forward to making it more awesome
Modders are gonna have a time with this one
I love the Alien franchise and Nerf, so.. I had pre-ordered 2 of them. Haven't got mine yet, but after watching video and yes I was aware it would have mediocre performance before I purchased, I didn't care. Its an official M41A I can play around with an occasionally shoot darts at stuff. It looks cool, sounds are awesome and the power loader paint is neat touch. I figured it would probably be a collector item, so thats why I bought 2, so one is getting put up. Overall even without it in my hands, I think its worth the money for the simple fact of what it is, the mag issue is more of a complaint to me than the performance.
ive seen the movies, but im not a big aliens fan, but i still bought one of these and i love it. its so cool, and the underbarrel mega launcher is something that is sadly not a common thing to see on stock blasters. super cool blaster, loads of fun, a little pricey for what it is, but totally worth the money in my opinion.
Heretic. :p
OMG; million dollar idea:
Sell this nerf gun in a combo pack with a super soaker incinerator unit and use some decorative weyland yutani duct tape to make your own “Ripley Special”.
Best cosplay blaster,my son used it
Got mine a few months back and I love it!! I bought it mainly for cosplay reasons but I have fired it a crapload of times and its good.
Got mine a week ago, love it, but... proprietary mag was a HUGE disappointment! Glad to see there's an easy fix.
This is how the needler should have been like
Long have I waited for this review. I got mine pre ordered it from Amazon, I love the the damn thing. Nit picks are the stock and the mag, but other than that as you said its fun. Plus I am in extreme debate weather or not I want to sand and paint it like the film replica. I might as well get the air soft version if I want to do that.
I am an avid ALIENS (all the films) and I was one of those s I have to have this type fan boy. I love it, minus everything you literally pointed out (great minds think alike lol). I'm torn bc I want to mod it, but I'm like could this be a collectable. And thank goodness that Nerf fired the person with the gold Sharpie weathering position.
I missed the original pulse run but got lucky enough to buy it for the same price off GameStop, same issues as you (though I've also had a lot of feeding issues using AF waffle heads) modding the mags thankfully isn't that difficult and is absolutely worth it. Now I'm just waiting for someone to make a drum mod for it XD
In reference to the need to modify other mags to work in this blaster, someone said on some post or forum thread long ago “Hasbro is great at somehow making things exactly, perfectly worse.”
A proper LMTD blaster!
Nice vid Walcom! Miss your livestreams on the weekends , unless RUclips is just hiding them from me lol
If Hasbro can make high-quality blasters like these for $100 than you think they should be able to make blasters with the same quality for their consumers
Mine came primed as well crazy it came that way.
Okay so admittedly I'm a huge Alien franchise fan, so I'm probably biased as hell... But when mine arrived it reduced me to a manic goblin on a sugar high for a good hour. Lol.
I agree with most of your criticisms... And hope they do release a cheaper one down the line like they did with the Mando blaster, because I will definitely be ordering at least one more to mod.
But it's accurate enough (they've tweaked the proportions to get the massive NERF mag in). Its range/accuracy is okay as a plinker round the house (and I've been successfully shooting flies, so insert "bug hunt" joke here). It feels phenomenal in the hand. And the GL is fun enough if disappointingly underpowered.
It absolutely became my favourite blaster immediately. Move aside Halo AR, Rapidstrike and elderly modified Rayven. Lol.
9.999/10
Desperately want more mags though. :(
I demand a line of Hasbro accessories including a motion tracker, more mags, an incinerator as a super soaker and more. Lol.
"You probably already bought the thing and you're not watching this video to do anything but reaffirm yourself on the purchase."
WHY YOU GOTTA CALL ME OUT LIKE THAT!? LMAO
You know what's funny
If you're left-handed like me, the ammo counter is totally viable
I preordered and received this blaster, i love the overall look and sounds of it but was upset about the magazine situation, looking in the mag well there are 2 little prongs that serve no purpose, so removing those and sanding down the front of magazine stops sucks but is very easy to fit 18s with ease. Hope this helps someone if they need it
its nice they gave mega accustrike-(bty I always wanted a barrel break but singapore doesn't sell it at 2010-even second hand shops ;(
Ive been huge fan of ALIENS and wanted an M41A for years but most models were hard to find , expensive, or really flimsy. I got one of these and Im now regretting i didnt get one to keep as is and another to repaint.
It's not just you, my mega dart launcher is weak AF too. Definitely needs a performance upgrade.
Also, you noted (with a caption) in your video that your ammo counter will default back to 10 after you've let the lights go out. Mine will keep whatever preset I put it to. I came home from work the past couple days and when I pick it back up it's still on 95. So, that claim in your vid made me curious.
I bought some 12 round mags and modified them. Doesn't take too much to do. However it seems to jam consistently when you load all 12 rounds. Load 11 and it works just fine.
I have a very short list of movie weapons I totally NEED as foam flingers, and this was at the top of it. I bought 4 and am considering going up to 6 if they come back in stock.
Star wars pistol is at my top of the list, would be fun but i wish that they don't trash it like the mando one
I love it, I want a second one to mod but its sold out.
Bought it love it, Really excited that it was both a fly wheeler and a mega dart launcher in one package, but it's inability to accept the othe magazines I already own means that it will spend most of it's life with me in the box.
😮”I think I just filled the cup.” -Jay
Love the blaster just wish it didn't have proprietary mags also the jam door doesn't have a safety cut off. Hope i see a few how to mod tutorials or internals videos it'll give me ideas for my custom build.
I bought 3 of them.
One to paint, one to mod, and one to just leave alone.
X-mas sale and some coupon I had got me all of them at $58 each... also free shipping.
I might buy a couple more just in case.
Already got the correct paints ready...
You should paint it like in the movie!
I have one of the airsoft replicas ( for display ), Hasbro did a pretty decent job with this Nerf replica though some of the dimensions/proportions are a little funky- paints up nicely however as I've seen on Reddit recently. Some nice chap has already 3D modeled the magazine base-plate for use with standard 10/12 round mags- shame it can't use them without modifying them but hey-ho.
Oh! Link to that magplate! Please?? 🙏🙏
Alright on my personal Christmas list..
great and entertaining review!!
this is the 3rd time you have come on my front page so im giving you a follow, i typically look at firearm content but youre so entertaining and you came on my page last year around this time and i ended up buying 10 nerf guns and the ammo you recommended and i donated them to kids in need of a good Christmas
Looks nice
