  2. I just can’t accept any diamond based representations of Russian/soviet arms that do not even include the cleaning rod.

    1. Sorry, crystal…. same gay different material

  3. Does it accept standard AK magazines? :)

  4. This would go really good with my Hello Kitty range bag and Ronco Rhinestone bedazzled tactical vest.

    That’s tackier than that mustang-fighter-paintjob’d Lamborghini that one black guy owns :/

    And seeing as how it’s made out of fake stuff, it’ll blend :D

  12. Oh the predictability of artists. The train of thought runs as follows:

    “I want to make a [bold / shocking / controversial / subversive] artistic statement because I’m a [fearless / brilliant / misunderstood genius / dark / relevant] artist. What two things can I combine that NOBODY has EVER thought of before? Something beautiful….like …. crystals! Yeah, that’s it!

    And now I need something [icky / scary / bad / ugly / politically unpopular] that all of my [ socialist / humanist / pacifist / environmentalist ] friends will applaud and tell me how [bold / shocking / controversial / subversive / shocking] I am….maybe a fetus? No, something more universally despised… eureka! Guns! Everybody hates and fears guns, right? How [fearless / brilliant / misunderstood genius / dark / relevant] of me! I’m so [bold / shocking / controversial / subversive] !

      I never understood how this can be considered “controversial”. Maybe it’s because I’m not an artist, but I don’t see how this is meant to be OH GOD SUPER CONTROVERSIAL WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS art. I really don’t.

      1. Because it’s a gun. There are places and people so neutered that a gun literally terrifies them.

  13. I bet its a “Bitch” to Clean!!!
