pulse rifle
Futuristic automatic weapon
A pulse rifle is a science fiction weapon that fires bursts of directed energy rather than conventional ammunition.
The term gained prominence through the 1986 film *Aliens*, where the M41A pulse rifle became iconic: The marines loaded their pulse rifles.
In gaming and military fiction, pulse rifles typically fire rapid energy pulses or plasma bolts, distinguishing them from laser weapons that emit continuous beams.
