This crate of rifles was found in Iraq by some of our soldiers:

I think it redefines the term "pimp rifle", but these might actually be gold plated, and not just paint...

Hmmmm...... a commemorative Krinkov. Other than for being outright gaudy, it really looks no worse than some of the goldplated commemoratives offered in the USA.

[Tamara]

Gold plated folders, no less! Pimp for sure. (Do they come with python skin slings? :D )

[Kharn]

Tamara: I dont know how many pythons there are in Iraq, probably shark skin instead.

I heard that Sly will be using one in Demolition Man 2 :neener:

[BusMaster007]

C'mon, admit it...you'd love to have one of those!
I would. Can you imagine how much fun it would be?
"...yeah, this is a GOLD plated AK from Iraq..."
:cool:

[cz75fan]

I was watching FOX News the other night and they were showing a Iraqi citizen celebrating and he had his AK with him. I had to look twice, but it appeared to be nickel plated. The lighting could have been what caused it to look nickel, but it might have been one of these type of rifles.

Betting Art's Granma is gonna get you for using the "P" word---LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL



The more I look at 'em---those nasty gold AK's are growing on me---thinking it would be a cool war trophy to bring back--if I were there and able to sneak one back.

[HSMITH]

PIMP for sure, can I have one?

[Gewehr98]

War trophy rules being what they are and all. :(

[Skunkabilly]

Gold? That stuff's weak, how about titanium nitride? :D

[FAL_Freak]

Also found, yet another pimp gun. Different model this time.

Mmmmmm..... Gimme that and some black spray paint. :D

[Tamara]

Please, dear God, let that be an AirSoft.

Please, please, please tell me that they didn't do that to a real MP5.

They did?

Oh, those, vicious, cruel barbarians!

That alone justifies the invasion; they were torturing guns! :eek:

[Schuey2002]

I wonder why they didn't go all out and plate the buttstock, SD foregrip and the trigger pack..:confused:

Just imagine what it would look like it if they were into carbon fiber like Skunk is..

:p

[Phyphor]

Ok, you're about to send me into convulsions with some of the WMBT (Weapons of Mass Bad Taste) ya'll are showing here....

[Kharn]

I wonder if the baffles of the supressor were gold plated.

[Benjamin]

Persistent rumor has it that The Godfather is one of Hussein's favorite movies.

It he, or anyone on his behalf, had the singularly poor taste to desecrate a Thompson in that manner.... :fire:

[TacticalSquirrel]

Those AK's are Krinkovs. The gas block is different and the handguards are regular size, where a Krinkov would be shorter. Those could be Romanian AIM rifles, but I didn't know they used that type of folder.

[Dr.Rob]

whats the corrosion resistance of 18k plating? How does it handle up to sand/wind/mud?

Those have GOT to be "comemeratives" or trophies or rewards to higher ups, remember the minister of finance (or whatever) showing up with a pimped up ak and LBE for a press conference?

Too bad those weapons can't be de-watted and brought home. Neat war trophy for sure.

And Tams, hate to burst your bubble but I saw a fully FACTORY engraved HK MP5K that was gold inlaid and used 8 POUNDS of Ivory for the grips. Talk about pimp.

[George Hill]

Eminem would own one.

[cratz2]

Hey... if someone else is footin' the bill for the gun and the tax, I'd be proud to own a gold plated MP5SD... Just might not show it to others. :uhoh:

[Sisco]

Probably the best camo they could think of if they had to hide out in one of Saddams palaces.

[Tamara]

I saw a fully FACTORY engraved HK MP5K that was gold inlaid and used 8 POUNDS of Ivory for the grips.

I know; we should invade Germany too, just over that. ;)

I had to suffer through a whole month last year (April? August? I'm blocking it out from the pain...) of a glossy 11"x14" pic of that hideous engraved and gold-inlaid MP5K being the gun o' the month in my HK 2002 wall calendar. :eek:

[Schuey2002]

Sorry, Tamara. I just had to do it..:p

[BevrFevr]

must be some pimp blood in me cause I like it.

Makes a statement. Now it just needs a good supply of silver bullets!

Saw a close up on cable TV news.

These guns have a gold medallion set into them stating that they are a present from a grateful Saddam (Uday) for loyal service.

Definitely a reward for his thugs.

[DMK]

Please, dear God, let that be an AirSoft.

Please, please, please tell me that they didn't do that to a real MP5. That appears to be exactly what the guy with the beard is about to say, judging by the pained look on his face. :D

I wonder what they did with all those pimp guns?

[FAL_Freak]

That appears to be exactly what the guy with the beard is about to say, judging by the pained look on his face.

Then there is the guy on the right holding the MP5 Tactical breifcase. You can tell he's thinking, "Oooohhh yeeeaah! Wait till them beyotchez seez me wit dat!" :p


Schuey2002, I like the engraving on that MP5. Where do I place the order? :D

[lwh723]

WOW!! I'll take the MP5; black & gold for the Iowa Hawkeye!

[DMK]

Wait till them beyotchez seez me wit dat!" LOL! Oh, man that's too funny. I'll bet that's exactly what he's thinking. :D

[mephisto]

In the picture with the mp5 the dude with the beard looks kinda POed like “what a waste of a great gun, I would have taken a BMW”. The guy holding up the briefcase is thinking “ wait tell they see me walking around the next gun show with this mother”. :what:

[rageman]

Schuey2002 came out and said...
Sorry, Tamara. I just had to do it.. :p

[img-MP5K Commemorative]


Wow. That gun is really, really, beautiful, understanding what it is--a collector's piece. Now those gold plated AKs and that gold MP5.... blech.:barf:

[natedog]

(Turns eyes to heaven)

Why? Why? How could a beatiful tactical weapon turn so UN-tactical? Why do bad things happen to good guns? Why?
