I can definitely recommend picking one of these up. I got one from the same company years ago and I love it. It's not 100% screen accurate, but petty damn close. The differences are small in my opinion, only stuff a Pulse Rifle prop builder would notice.
The weight is heavy due to the fact the the Thompson machine gun it's built around is actual metal, giving it a real prop feel. The shroud is plastic as well as the Spas shotgun cage with pump action handle. If so inclined to get really authentic you can get those real parts used and change them out... But that's a whole other story. A bit or work.
With a few steps this gun can be massively improved and made to look a lot more like the actual prop.
First thing was getting rid of the bright orange barrel caps. Fortunately those are just orange plastic that is glued onto the barrels, I was able to just use a pair of pliers to carefully pull those off.
Then I repainted the shroud, the green tone is a little off for my taste. I just masked off the rest of the gun and spray painted the shroud a more accurate looking olive drab.
Then painted the Spas section a black to match the rest of the gun body, as it is out of the box the Spas section was a lighter color and looked odd.
Then just a matter of adding some silver paint on the edges to give that worn and beat up look the rifles had in the movie.
For display you can pick up some tool wall mounts a Home Depot. They work great as they support the heavy weight and are barely noticeable when the gun is mounted.
For the price, you can't go wrong with this thing. Especially considering what these replicas can go for, rather the HCG one or a custom built. Yikes.
Plus the added fun factor of it being a full automatic electric airsoft gun is pretty sweet. I got it as a display piece, but definitely took it out a few times in the back yard to cut down some Pepsi cans for target practice. ..and yes, the ammo counter does count down with each shot.
You'll love this thing if you're an Aliens fan.
