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.

      This is great news! While mp3 technology may soon be illegal in the U.S., the conservatives have shown they are highly dedicated to protecting our god-given right to carry an assault riffle! I can't wait until I have to hide my mp3s in an Ak-47 to keep the secret police from finding them...

      I guess if you downloaded mp3's and got caught there would be a $1,000 fine for the clip and a $97,000,000,000 for the music.

      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. ;)

      please be honest:
      don't you think, there is something wrong with this?

      maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem quite OK.

    Just to pick nits - it is improper to refer to the ammunition feeding device of an AK as a "clip." It has a spring inside of it, therefore it is properly called a "magazine."
