I assume they would be going to a military museum of sorts.

[Azide]

wood does not look very good next to gold...

[KaceCoyote]

Yeah but that chrome(or Stainless steel?) looks great next to that polymer furniture.

[NicNZ]

Ha, a shiny, gleaming, bright, and reflective SVD! Very useful!

[bbc100]

anyone got the picture of Saddam's golden MP5?

[el_kab0ng]

http://www.prdfiles.com/sfmftp/Special%20Forces%20Mod/paves%20cars/pave%20misc/gold%20ak/wkeeg04.jpeg

Platinum. There was a thread about a year ago that showed a few of Al Sadr's forces carrying Platinum plated AK's that were tribal gifts from Saddam.

[Moledet]

actually GW did get presented one by some troops if I remember right - and I think he has it displayed in the Oval Office
I think that was Saddam's personal handgun (gold plated) and not an AK.

[Frens]

there were also MP5-SD and MP5-K

Talk about the ULTIMATE war trophy!

I'd be be happy with just one of the gold plated Browning HI-Powers......

[bloddyaxe]

heh

the top woodpiece turns the wrong way... p-)

[Grozny]

That AK is the domestic Iraqi version, the Tabuk or something, isn't it?

[KaceCoyote]

Their Dragunov(Al Kadesh? I think) is supposed to be a darn fine weapon with proper ammunition, but from what my uncle tells me the two he's recoved were using delinked ammunition.

[faithless]

Many of the gold svd's were destroyed.

[sindrulf]

lol, remfs

yeah, HAHA,
look at how they never have touched a weapon before - all got the apprehensive look and holding the gun awkwardly.

[TuNeRsHaRk]

on the Mp5 it looks like just gold paint but its prob not

So thats where all my guns are, ive been looking for them

was presented by delta-nyt first reported

"As first reported in Time magazine, the soldiers who captured Saddam in December presented the mounted sidearm as a gift to Bush in a visit to the White House. They were members of the Army's Delta Force, Bush later said, and they had confiscated the unloaded pistol from Saddam's lap when they pulled him out of his underground bunker near Tikrit."

i believe it-and i hate nyt

[catalyst]

Does anyone find humour in this guys pic? The hay, the face, the uniform, the way he is holding the rifle as if he is gonna have a crap out of it and his webbing etc...etc.

[Palladin]

That ain't the ultimate war trophy. The enemy commander's SKULL is. Roman generals routinely drank wine from the commander's skulls that they had captured.

Tommy Ray Franks deserves a drink of wine from Saddam's cleaned and pressure washed skull someday. If we were fortunate enough to catch Zarqawi,I would give his head to whomever is the Marine field commander on the ground and as for Osama,Bush drinking from his skull is fitting methinks.

What just went through my head wash "Hey MTV, Pimp My Rifle!"

[Mitch Rapp]

Interestting, why Air force soldiers are holding hem?

[Mitch Rapp]

Not golden but in the same line more or less

No accusations here, but how do you know this?

That would really be a waste of potential funds for rebuilding in Iraq. Auctioned off to firearm collectors or museums on the open market, I'm sure they would make a nice bit change.

Still want a golden Browning ;) !!

[shadower]

A few golden Al Kadish here.

[usafbalad]

Actually, those I know for a fact that a gold plated AK is sitting in the wing commanders office at Balad AB , Iraq.

[K.W.S]

are they real gold? very cool though,that gives me an idea for a comp for my site :D

must be cool finding them and captured guns getting to fire each one.

Mitch Rapp, the admin over at gunzone sent me an email asking that his images not be hotlinked anymore. I've removed them from your post. He also included the originating pages though so feel free to visit these if you want to see the images.
