| MP3 players for AK-47s - WHY???? | |
| 2004-02-09 | |
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".

| #9 built into a wimpy 10 round magazine They can tape a couple of magazines together and make it look like a bad-ass MP3 player. |

| #8 Nice looking babe, but the MP3 player is just built into a wimpy 10 round magazine. No self-respecting Jihadi would want to be seen with anything less than a 30 round magazine MP3 player in his AK! |

| #4 Mahmoud walks warily down the street with his turban wound too tight. Ain't no sound but his MP3s, and he's lookin' for a fight. Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this, are you hangin' on the edge of your seat? There ain't no bullets in that musical clip, and Mahmoud goes down to defeat! Another one bites the dust . . . . |

| #3 "This is the AK-47, the preferred weapon of your enemy. It makes a distinctive sound when fired. A fake clip's gonna run me over 5 bills? Where's my M-16?" |
