MP3 Jukebox built into AK47 Ammunition Magazine
(link to this article)

AudioBooksForFree.Com, the No1 UK online mp3 audio book publishers, has released a one-of-a-kind MP3 portable jukebox - built into the ammunition magazine of a Kalashnikov AK-47 Assault rifle. The "AK-MP3 Jukebox" comes with 20GB storage capable to hold up to 9000 songs or 3000 hours of mp3 audio books.

The manufacturers claim that the stainless steel body of the casing makes this new player uniquely suitable for the outdoors.

As the advert says, the 'player could be used on its own or it could be attached to the Kalashnikov machinegun instead of the ordinary magazine.'

Given that between 70 and 100 million Kalashnikov assault rifles have been produced throughout the world since the 1950s, it's an accessory bound to be in strong demand.

"This is our bit for World Peace," jokes one of the partners behind ABFF, ex-rock-star Andrey Koltakov (BONIFACIY).

"Hopefully, from now on many Militants and Terrorists will use their AK47s to listen to music and audio books- they need to chill out and take it easy."

I'd buy one.. Maybe, no, wait, yes. maybe. At least it'd be hard to break. I wonder if it comes with a couple of dummy rounds for the top.


Edited to add price and makers web site.. http://www.audiobooksforfree.com/kalashnikov/ak-mp3.asp
600USD. Yikes! For that price i'll make my own.

It's not as though you can blame the writeup from a techie website, but that looks more like an SVD mag to me.

1974 called, and said it wants its headphones back.

 

[Thylacine]

Uh oh.





I want one.
I bet I could use it on my line-in on my electronic ear protectors.

"1974 called, and said it wants its headphones back."

some of the best headphones out today look like they came from the 60s and 70s.


Back on topic, nice gimick but just a gimick.

 

[Thylacine]

"Gimmick" works for me. I still want one.

"No Officer, this is my MP3 player. I have every right to walk around the mall listening to my tunes."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a Dragunov magazine in the attached pic?

Try out a pair of Grado SR-80's. Form follows function. I'm glad they spent that much of their budget on the sounds-good part.

Looks cool.
Looks like I'll have to buy a rifle to go with it. =D

 

[gremlin_bros]

looks like a new meaning to going rock and roll with your gun

 

[Third_Rail]

Not an AK mag. We went over this a long time ago - it's an SVD magazine.

 

[max popenker]

yep, that's Dragunov SVD mag on picture.

Now, somebody has to mage CD-MP3 player built into RPK drum mag

Doesn't mean people still won't want them.

At formation, somewhere in Chechnya:

Sniper Ivanov, why are there headphones connected to your Dragunov's magazine?

It's, um, it's a new listening device combined into the magazine that directs the round towards the sound source when the sniper fires, starshnyee!

The sgt's reaction:

 

[Zundfolge]

Isn't this think like 4-5 years old?

 

[MD_Willington]

A real geek would have built an MP3 player into the stock of an AKM pattern rifle

Never underestimate the power of modern music.

Given a choice between plain AK/SVD and a rifle-burst of Britney Spears, I'll take the plain, thanks.
