MP3 Player In An AK-47 Magazine

Posted by timothy on from the have-fun-going-through-security dept.

Comrade Pikachu writes "These guys have apparently fit a hard drive based MP3 player into a Kalashnikov ammunition clip. They are accepting pre-orders now. It fits into a standard AK-47 and comes pre-loaded with over 200 audio books. Listen to Poe on your assault rifle!" Audiobooksforfree also is one of the few places I've found online with free (low-fi) audiobooks -- for greater fidelity, you can buy files or pre-loaded hard drives, or (at long last) this unorthodox player.

    that questions whether it supports OGG. :P

    BTW, it doesn't. It only supports MP3 and WMA.

    In case anyone wants to see the pics of that really cool guy in the glasses, I've mirrored all the pics on my uni account.

    Bullfuckingshit. First off, us Americans, unlike you Canadians, don't have the notion that everyone is too stupid to have a gun, and that mummy government has to protect us from the icky, icky things. Thus, AK-47s are legal to own, you just have to have the semi-auto version. Even the auto version's not insanely tough to obtain; you have to pay a tax and submit to a background check, but it is obtainable. As has been said earlier in the thread, carrying one of these around here is more likely to get a response of "that kicks ass" from the local police than said officer shooting you in the ass.

    Clips such as these may get an interesting look from the postal clerk, and someone checking the regs, but not a visit from the police. At least, that's how it would go down in a civilized nation. Don't know how it would go down in Canada.

    Actually you can ship pretty much anything except the lower reciever to a gun without any sort of permit. For example, I can ship an entire M16 through the mail, no questions asked -- though it can't have the lower reciever (and thus is not a functioning weapon.) To ship a lower reciever you have to do it through someone with a license (normally a gun shop.)

    Here in Texas, you can walk down the street with a loaded automatic rifle and so long as you legally own the gun, nobody can do anything about it. Though if you point it at someone, that's considered a threatening action and is illegal. Oh, and it's legal to shoot a robber in the back as he flees from your house. So don't rob my place if you don't wanna get shot. ;)
