Real M41A Pulse Rifle

Also found on Soldier Systems with more info available from their own website is this shit-the-bed cool rifle modelled on the Colonial Marines M41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens.

Remington Modular Sniper Rifle

I've just seen this video of the new Remington MSR (Modular Sniper Rifle) over on Soldier Systems. Looks amazing.
