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".
Anyway, I just posted threads with that sticker on a half dozen gun forums. We'll see if anybody wants to do anything with them now.
