Very sweet. My gf and I collect "Hello Kitty" so this would be perfect for our collection (actually she pointed this out to me from another site and said she wanted it). YES, we would have a REAL AK-47 in our house along with our Glock and Mossberg. Remember our Constitution.
I've broken down a few, and there's no way, no matter how gussied up, a Chinese AK is worth a $K. If it's Russian, or Eastern Europe I supposed it might be worth it...
Too bad it's a parody. I was looking around for a hot pink "Britney Spears" Humvee Assault Vehicle with a roof-mounted "Strawberry Shortcake" M249 SAW "Berry Picker".
fake as in, the Martha Stewart Claymore Mines and Mother Teresa LAW Rocket launcher are kind of a dead give away...since not even the N.R.A. can get you those on the open market...much less in a wide variety of pastel colors.
wonder if anyone still does "Z-coating" on firearms... friend once did some custom Zcoats on a pair of matching Colt Python pistols..
one baby blue the other hot pink..."his" and "hers" aniversary gift.
The text at the bottom of the page was more of a giveaway. You know, the bit that says:
NOTE: This site is a parody for humor purposes only. No actual weapons may be bought on this site. [...] There is no such thing as "Sucking-Chest-Wound Bear." [...] GlamGuns.com has no connection with and is not affiliated with [...] Paris Hilton, Mother Theresa, Lady Diana, or, in fact, much of anyone really, especially Dick Cheney who, at no time, was CEO of our corporation or even on the Board of Directors. No, really. Would we lie to you?
if its functional thats cheap for an AK anymore. recently the prices have gone up dramatically again. a pre ban AK in terrible shape with a factory folding stock and a pair of high capacity clips can sell for $1500 these days when about 10 years ago you could grab one for $150 all day long.
This reminds me of Antonio Riello's work from a few years back, some images here: http://www.hoardmag.com/riello/Riello_1.htm
or our own story in Issue 8 of http://www.thisisamagazine.com
He also did hand-grenades, armour, assault rifles missles, etc. They were all real/working firearms, as well as great fashion accessories. Win, win.
SeanHansen (31), ignore for the moment the bits on the page that label it parody. You're right that Glamguns.com get the technical data wrong: for handguard, read grip. Also, I'm not sure that isn't an AK-74.
But errors aren't enough to prove it's a fake. Real objects frequently receive flawed writeups. What's more to the point is the objection JBurris and RugerRedHawk make: the price is way too low for an unmodified fully automatic AK-47, much less a custom job like that one.

Murder is *adorable*!
It's a shame its a fake.
Where is the AK from, tho?

Fake? oh, you mean they don't have permission from Sanrio? Heh, the AK is all the permission they need! lol

You know, if al-Queda used these rifles, I'll bet Bush *never* would have gotten Congressional authorization to invade Iraq....

It's perfect. There just aren't enough drive-by murders by women. It's so heartwarming to see that gangs are being proactive!
Is a very nice rifle... but the name is terrible: AK-47 and it can kill.
This reminds me of the Sanrio Beretta 93R that somebody made as a graphics hack for Half-Life.
Some might prefer an old fashioned, Barbie Doll motif. I believe this one works:

"There is no such thing as 'Sucking-Chest-Wound Bear.'"
oh, I'm heartbroken. I would buy a Sucking-Chest-Wound Bear.
Not exactly a new idea:

Ha! When you go to check out it redirects you to a book on amazon: A Theory of Parody.
Too bad this gun's fake. I would have loved to have used it to put a bullet in the ass of my fat-assed Republican clients
Darn it, all the good comments are already taken!
I can totally go one better - how's about Tactical Nuclear Strike Kitty?
(Link goes to a Flickr page)
I'm disappointed they limit quantities to 200 per order.
So, you ARE going to mark it as a parody to save people the trouble of having to figure it out, right?
Puddy tat piddle on the pillow again? What better way to say Goodbye Kitty?
Standard issue for Thai Police?
First sign it's fake was the S&W 460 they were selling all decked out for $658. A stock one sells for around $900.

Curses that it's only a parody... I thought the problem of my girlfriend's birthday present had been solved!
This would have gone perfectly with my pink-heart and unicorn sticker festooned Glock 19.
...CHIBI KILLSTICK!!!
Sorry, couldn't help but think of MegaTokyo here. >.>

Dear Santa

There's no way that's real,they got too many technical data wrong, like calling a stock sock a muffler.
-SH.

Calton (23): No. It's good for them.
Accessorize with this pink taser from amazon, $350.
It's an HK-47!
