secondly, you yourself in your very intelligent remark: "I wasn't flaming, I just told him this is a stupid idea. Its the year 5869 or something, they don't use thompsons."
you should know yourself that in the year 5869 or something, they could have invented new technologies, like floating crosshairs.
lastly, it was HIS REQUEST to have a floating holopoint as seen in the seburo compact pistol. if you look around and find the skin, you will see that also on that gun, the crosshairs are floating. its called imagination.
edit: yea, as revolver says, it is indeed a hologram.

the pusle rifle from the movie is a life firing thompson with an underbarell remington 870 shotgun as grenade launcher.

summary and some more info ..
Practical (working) prop weapons were constructed using a Thompson M1A1 sub-machine gun, underneath which was mounted a Remington 870 series shotgun, considerably cut down. The shotgun was concealed within the barrel shroud of a Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun, to represent the grenade launcher. The whole was housed in a futuristic cover incorporating a carrying handle with integral sight rail and electronic ammunition counter display.
Component parts of the pulse rifle
The pulse rifle in its practical form was extremely heavy and therefore cumbersome to carry. Lightweight fibreglass replicas were also made for the cast to carry when it was not necessary to show the rifle in operation or in close-up. The pulse rifle shown here is derived from those lightweight replicas. We would never profess that the casting shown was "from the original moulds" - the silicone rubber from which moulds are made only has a life of a few years. For the sake of improving detail the grenade launcher and pump grip have been replaced with original SPAS-12 parts. The original cast-on housing screws have been replaced with real machine screws, and the M1A1 magazine removal lever and spring assembly have been replaced with cast resin ones. The upper barrel has also been replaced, it being slightly bent originally (this version was possibly a third or fourth generation copy).
The pulse rifle has been produced many times in kit form.
Probably the first was the vacuum-form plastic and resin kit by Science Shop. Next came the far more accurate Star Arms version. Released in November 1989 it was also comprised of vacuform and resin parts*. Marco Ent. in the USA released a pulse rifle which featured a moving pump grip, working trigger, machine gun sound and illuminating barrel tip and ammo counter display. UK company Relics produce a rifle in wood parts, incorporating actual SPAS-12 shroud and pump grip. In 1998 US company Icons released the first officially licensed pulse rifle. However the reference original was rather the worse for wear, and although very neat and clean, the Icons replicas are slightly inaccurate in many ways. Probably the most accurate pulse rifle was produced by S D Studios in the US. The replicas incorporated actual SPAS-12 parts and deactivated Remington 870 shotguns and Thompson M1A1 weapons. Stocks and barrel ventilation shrouds were fabricated from metal; the carrying enclosure was made from fibreglass. The rifle also included a working ammo counter, reset when the magazine was removed and replaced. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/uploads/post-19-1042300448.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

The M1A2000 is a 21st century update to the venerable but popular Thompson Submachine Gun. The reciever and action have been lengthened and reinforced using the latest techniques and alloys to accept the standard 5.56mm Nato cartridge and to withstand the stresses of firing at 800 RPM. Ammunition is in the form of 50 round see-through plastic drum magazines. The wooden components have been replaced by black stippled ballistic polymer. The polymer stock is detachable and contains a field cleaning kit. The pistol foregrip contains a laser aiming module and carries a rail to mount accessories. The LAM is activated by a button on the front of the grip.
