MP3 players for AK-47s

A BRITISH-based company is selling MP3 players which can be attached to an assault rifle.

The "AK-MP3" player is built into the ammunition clip of a Kalashnikov and can be swapped with the real magazine.

The device is being advertised on the internet by a Buckinghamshire-based company set up by a group of Russian businessmen who sell audio books.

It comes with enough storage space to hold 3000 audio books or 9000 songs.

Former Russian rock star Andrey Koltakov, a partner in the dotcom company offering the AK-MP3 for sale, said: "This is our bit for world peace - hopefully, from now on many militants and terrorists will use their AK-47s to listen to music and audio books."

The accessory costs $480 or $965 with hundreds of audio books loaded on to it.

Those marketing it say the stainless steel body makes it "uniquely suitable for outdoors".

We students of firearms gave up trying. If someone want to come off like they don't know what they're writing about, we can't help that.

Gonna have to make some music.

Let me get his straight....you load MUSIC where the ammo should be? Then carry around a flaccid weapon? Why not put a DVD player in my parachute? I'll keep my personal safety products apart from my entertainment gear, thanks. Like a minidisc or MPS player is SO big anyway. I hope this is a joke.

That's ONE way to keep the RIAA off your back...

Sorry folks, but that's no AK magazine. Looks more like an SVD Dragunov mag to me.

No way is that thing fitting into any Kalashnikov rifle.

You may have started something.
Beverages in a lookalike fire extinguisher.
An I-Pod identical to a medical alert device.

Does this strike anyone else as being a little too ... hoax-like? Like the topless chamber music quartet perhaps?

[singletrack]

HOAX ALERT!

Dragunov mag at the top and the AK Mag on the bottom.

An EFAD reader photoshopped these for me. I have this idea to post the files for these on the internet Sore-Loserman style, for any shooter who wants to to make bumper stickers, shirts, posters etc.

Here's a larger version about 5X8: http://www.umesde.umes.edu/facstaff/mltaylor/ShooterXflagv1.jpg

I just copied that from the other thread about Britain. Thank you. I'm going to explore the idea of creating stickers on my printer.

LOCK, LOAD, AND ROCK AND ROLL!!!!

This is almost but not quite the final version. The rifle might be better simply all black, rather than the half tones of the photo we copied. And we might change the gold snake color to gray to make for cheaper two color (red and black only) bumper sticker production. For bumper stickers, two of these would go on each one made, then they would be cut in half to produce two stickers.

There's no copyright problem, the Naval Jack is public domain, and the idea is mine.

I don't know if colors are a problem these days. If everything is run by computers, the number of colors shouldn't matter, I would think.

Nice flag and sticker, though.
