An AK-47 from Iraq (news - web sites), thought to be gold plated, is displayed at the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection in Atlanta Wednesday, April 23, 2003. Several members of the media and a U.S. serviceman have been caught attempting to ship Iraqi paintings, weapons and other war souvenirs to America, U.S. authorities said Wednesday. At least 15 paintings, gold-plated firearms, ornamental knives, bonds and other items have been seized at airports in Atlanta, Boston, London and Washington in the last week, according to the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.

What's more utilitarian than an AK? Gold plating? What are these commie pimps?

Wait, I know the purpose of this. When Delta comes knocking at your door you answer holding one of these puppies. As the operatives start to laugh uncontrolably, perhaps even losing control of bowel movements, it is advised that the carrier of above weapon run like hell.

If he attempts to shoot he will probably make the Delta guys angry leading to his swift anhilation, followed by a row between the Deltas regarding who gets the best souvenirs...

The AK & MP5 look good in gold, but the Dragonov SVD doesn't. I wonder what gold plater weapon they'll find next? Maybe a gold plated RPG! :lol:
