The Mexican authorities just took down a drug lord known as "El Lobo".

And yes, those are real diamonds and emeralds on his guns. At least he buys American! :barf:

those has to be the most disgusting guns I have ever seen. Looks like they allowed them to rust then sprayed them with gold paint.

From what I heard, that's not gold paint, it's actual gold plating. But it brings a whole new meaning to gaudy.

What a bunch of trash . . . proof that no amount of money can buy good taste. :barf:

Can you picture "El Lobo" standing there looking stupid with part of the nine pounds of gold bling hanging from his neck caught in the action of his AR, while the Federales closed in?
Of course, a gold-plated, diamond-encrusted AK will just keep on running no matter how much gold bling you drop in the action. Poor planning, really...

Clearly he was an idiot, thats why he was caught.

good, another bad guy off the streets.
They'll probably destroy those weapons... sans the plating and jewels, of course.

This is Mexico, so the local political big-shot will own them. Which is appropriate since he's probably a former partner of El Lobo, until he got a better offer from a rival and brought the Federales down on poor Mr. Lobo.

Talk about: Better own a good safe, as the_word spreads about one's gold/silver plated w/jewels, gun-trophies..

Almost: ~ an accident waiting to happen ~ without doubt

The first picture is actually Colt's new special edition 1911, El Lobo. Available in .38 super only.
I mean, is it really fundamentally worse than this?

Look at all those "American gun" why I bet he had just picked those up at a gun show a few days before he got busted, and hadn't had time to get them out to his troops, I mean gang bangers....

Hey you guys are being too hard on the guy, he was just miss guided, he thought that they were rapper jewelry, didn't even know they were real live guns. You know they can't have those south of the boarder unless they are with the goverment.

I actually like that chrome or silver M-4! It looks pimptastic! If i had a couple of million burning a hole in my pocket yea I'd do it!

Anyone here ever play Army of Two? Looks like El Lobo did and loved that pimp camo. :D

Aw come on guys! First there's that thread about how modern guns suck because they "can't be engraved", and now this about how 100% engraved guns suck! What do you want!? Some sort of tasteful balance!? :cuss:


Btw I hope his bullets are gold plated and engraved too or I'm not impressed.

I've heard of Extreme Tactical, but this is like Ultra-Extreme Tackiness. Gives the word ostentatious a really bad name.

Actually, I thought that was a suppressor that's lying in front of the scope and above the front sight.

A suppressor! - i think - it's just sitting on the table (not attached to the AR)

It's mounted to the barrel - night vision?

CoRoMo
May 5, 2010, 06:08 PM
It can't be mounted to the barrel. It's not. It's almost sitting right on the front sight.

It looks like he covered a bunch of guns in aluminum foil. They look like toys. How could anyone possibly think that pimping guns to this level of gaudiness would get them respect? He should have bought a Rolls with that ill-gotten drug money.

I say, if you've got it, flaunt it! You guys get bent out of shape because somebody choses to embellish his guns and yet think women embellished with tatoos are hot...go figure.

This guy was a Drug Lord. I'd rather be a War Lord myself, but if you're any kind of Lord you have to keep up appearances or your henchmen won't respect you, so you'd pretty much need some jewel-encrusted guns.

Unless you're a Lord of the Dance, then I think you could get away with a couple of pairs of jewel-encrusted shoes.

butt-ugly, AR's and 1911 are to be Black, silver (for 1911's) or a digi camo or some sort, not this uglyness!

Well aren't they just "special" one of the few weapons i wouldn't mind seeing get melted. i like tasteful engraving work but that's um well not it

wait, what? Resemble? I dig tatted women as well, But God intended for guns to be smooth and have a certain weight to them for every man, and every man has his own personal gun out there just waiting for them to find it. It is a true love story.

Are those Winchester White Boxes of ammo in pictures 2 & 3?!? Hahaha this dood is a drug lord, and yet he has to shop at Walmart for his crappy ammo just like the rest of us!

Sorry... I like them - they are different and unique... one of a kind. If I had the kind of money that a drug lord or flamboyant pianist has, to buy them I would and I would shoot them too.

I'm trying to finish my AR project and I don't know which way to go, so many choices!

If I had that kind of money, I'd order one of everything JP Precision has for reference...then decide where to go.

The first picture is actually Colt's new special edition 1911, El Lobo. Available in .38 super only.
I mean, is it really fundamentally worse than this?


I don't think there's anything wrong with a little engraving and embellishment. None of my guns are engraved, except for a 1911 I intend to pass down to my son. It's engraved with his name, his birthday, my name and the gun's purchase date(yeah, very fine print)...under the grips. To each his own. If we all want utilitarian firearms with nothing but the necessities, we'd all be packing tupperware. Variety is the spice of life!

You'd think with all the bling he could have afforded some decent furniture for the guns. Why not some tasteful ebony for the butt, grip, and heat shield?

You really need both gold and platinum guns to compliment what you're wearing. If it's black tie and dinner jacket, then you go with platinum. If it's a wedding or semi-casual affair, then gold is never a bad choice.

I think the rifles look terrible, but that's just my opinion.
Hey, what women with GUN tattoos? Does that cross the line? :)

If it's set up like bling, I wonder if that guy wore it on a gold chain around his neck? :p
