Company Makes MP3 Players For AK47's (AK-MP3)

[matcom]

<snip>

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

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

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."

Tired of being an easy target? Does not having a weapon while charging across no-mans-land bother you?

Try AK-MP3!! Blast Zamfir at a steady sprint! Rouse up an impromtu Riverdance on the front line! (external speakers sold separately)

I coul'd understand a mp3 player on a automatic pistol or something, why not have some nice music while target shooting ..


But for an AK47 rifle??
