Alien Romulus Pulse Rifle

This is the F44AA Pulse Rifle as seen in Alien Romulus. I was asked to design an early version of the iconic Pulse Rifle as seen in Aliens.
As the film was set decades prior to Aliens, much closer to Alien, I drew a lot of inspiration from the design language of the first movie, as well as other films of the time. I wanted to suggest that the weapon had been assembled from various real world weapons such as the Thompson SMG, M203 grenade launcher, M12 SMG & FAMAS.

This was a dream project for me and I'm really grateful to have been given the chance to contribute to the Alien universe. Many thanks to director Fede Álvarez who was a key part of the process and was instrumental in shaping the design.

Wētā Workshop created the practical props and did an amazing job of translating the digital model to a physical model. It was exciting to see my work brought to life by such skilled artists.

Thanks also to smagda64 on the RPF for the floor tile model which I used as a basis for my model.
