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".

This has considerable comedic potential.
Our guys come around a corner in Baghdad and here's a bad guy who levels his weapon and blasts our guys with "Highway to Hell".

It comes with enough storage space to hold 3000 audio books or 9000 songs. Must be short books or else encoded at a WAY lower quality if the books only consume three times more than a song. :-) My books from Audible.com typically run 100 MB, vs. 3-4 MB for a song.

Just wait till the gun grabbers get wind of this! Does it come with wi-fi to download off of Kazaa? :-)

a canadian version is comming out so canadian soldiers can intimidate the enemy with nasty clicking noises and not actually load their weapons.
