Inspired by the Double Burner?

Alien: Resurrection - AR2 Draco Double-Burner
“Draco Double-Burner” AR2 Assault Rifle used in the production of the 1997 science fiction film Alien:Resurrection. 200 years after her death, Ellen Ripley is revived as a powerful human/alien hybrid clone. Along with a crew of space pirates, she must again battle the deadly aliens and stop them...

If that's the case then this is a comparison of the sizes of the M41A and F44AA. First one is with M41A stock retracted and second is with M41A stock extended (pos 3). Bottom pic is the metal and actual firing airsoft AEG Snow Wolf M41A, flipped, so the digital ammo counter is on the other side..
I guess the size of barrel is about 15-20% smaller than the M41A. Interestingly, you would have trouble using the carrying handle of the F44aa using gloves.

I was really surprised to see this on Thingiverse someone put out a nicely detailed Romulus pulse rifle. F44AA Pulse Rifle from Alien: Romulus by neebick

i found it too ... after buying another stl, hehehe. Both seem quite accurate, but the one in thingiverse, have a ton of pieces

Yeah I think it's over 110 parts.
Wow! I can't say anything about accuracy yet without checking it against screenshots, but "neebick" is my favorite person on the internet right now for letting us download it as a .step file! Not only does that mean customization (i.e. to add a flashlight etc.), but also being able to have parts CNC-machined if you want a working stock mechanism!
Cheers!

Geez, he's even got a stencil for the numbers and wings. I like that the targeting screen comes up, though can't tell if there's a mechanism to pop it up or it just flips up. Watching the AWESOME video, I think it just hinges up and down some how: no button release.
I don't like that the handle is in pieces. He says it's for easier printing, which makes sense. But being that that part needs to be sturdy, maybe it doesn't make sense. I'd prefer a solid long piece. Or maybe get it CNC-machined, as Roman mentioned!
The HCG one should copy his "Reciever Detail" (the lined, 2-dot thingie on the sides of the mag well): their's looks like something I did. ;P
So how do you get this printed if you don't have a 3D printer (or know $#!t about 3D printing)? Or do we just wait until someone here with a resin printer decides to make them available?
And has anyone sourced the cable yet? I can't see using a printed one. It looks like metal electrical conduit I've seen used in crawl spaces or ceilings.

The stuff I was thinking of is "Metallic Flexible Conduit." From what I could find, they have sizes as low as 3/8", which I'm guessing is what's on the F44. At Home Despot and BLowes (hardware super stores in the USA) looks like the smallest length is 25' but I swear I remember them having it on a spool where you could buy it by the foot (for those of us that don't need 25').
Here's a link to the Home Despot stuff for $25.70 for $25' (BLowes has the same brand). Next time there I'll see what it looks like in person and if they still have the by-the-foot-spools:
Southwire 3/8 in. x 25 ft. Alflex RWA Metallic Aluminum Flexible Conduit 55082021 - The Home Depot
Hope this all helps.

And from the above B&W image, I just noticed... Vents on the Hero Rifles only? Not even filled fakes on the Stunts? Hmm...

Nah, nothing horrid. I just find great enjoyment in renaming them something similar with an edge. Same with Worst Buy (Best), and Bed Bath and Behind.

I think it's like the ALIENS Pulse Rifle... it's Brown Bess color, but under the blue lighting of the movie, it looked olive drab-ish, via yellow (brown) + blue = green (olive).
There's a couple display photos... not sure the lighting on those. And then the HCG "clean" version (again, who knows what lighting they used). I'd just average all that you've seen plus the movie stills and pick your white. If you add grease and grime, it's probably gonna change the white anyways.
It's yours. So whatever you decide will be right.
You might want to also look at some of the props from the first movie shown off-screen (displays, behind the scenes) as I believe most were white (specifically the flamer). That might give you another take, since it's supposed to be from the same universe, though Romulus was a little later in the timeline. It's pretty clear that Weyland Yutani LOVES their white!
Also, finally made it to Home Despot... no conduit by the foot, but they did have the rolls (locked behind some gates, not sure how anyone could shoplift a roll). An option for this might also be to go to any construction sites (probably buildings) and dumpster dive. We only need, what? 1.5 feet"?
