I was recently looking for that same sound indeed (it's perhaps best known
from JM Jarre's "Oxygene Part IV", see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DDEl7JnWvo).

I have this old "Hexawe" drum sounds archive sitting on my harddisk for ages
now (it's still available after all the time, just 
wget http://www.hexawe.net/mess/200.Drum.Machines/drums.zip), and in there,
I found that sound in drums/KorgMP7/Quijada.wav.
Of course, re-programming it with your weapon of choice is the more sporty
solution, but if you're impatient.. :-).
