When you’re a mercenary for hire, it pays to have weapons that are as blingy as your bank account. This gold-plated AK 47 certainly fits the bill. It performs on par with the standard AK-47 and is sure to spark admiration from the people you encounter on your assignments.
The AK-47 is the world’s most recognisable assault rifle, designed for the Soviet army in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It’s been a fixture in many conflict zones and is one of the most popular firearms around the globe. It’s been seen at the side of, among others, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Mexican drug cartel bosses, and Russian oligarchs.
This golden AK-47 from the Texas Shooter’s Supply range is a real 24 Karat gun. Its golden finish doesn’t stain and will perfectly match your golden Rolex or your wife’s Louis Vuitton. The gun is also easy to maintain and will not get smudged with fingerprints like a regular gun would.
Some people collect stamps, motorbikes or Disney memorabilia – Crown Xu collects military weapons. He owns an AK-47 so rare, he says it’s the only one of its kind in the world. And now he’s worried a new law Gold Plated AK 47 banning high-powered guns will take it away from him.
Xu, 64, is from a rural town in West Auckland and works hard to afford his collection of rifles, grenades and other war memorabilia. But he fears the new laws, enacted in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attack, will see him lose some of his most prized possessions. He has until Friday to hand over his weapons before they’re made illegal.
“I’ve been collecting for years and this is the best piece I’ve got,” he said. It’s a gold-plated AK-47, made for the Soviet military in the late 1940s and later adopted by many Eastern Bloc countries. The AK-47 is the most widely used assault rifle in the world, having been carried by millions of soldiers and insurgents.
The AK-47 was so popular it even became the preferred weapon of insurgents who wanted to avoid detection by local police. It was cheap and easy to produce, so it was used extensively by rebels in Ukraine, Bosnia, and the Balkans during the 1990s. Today, it is still in use and is a mainstay of police forces and military police across the globe. The AK-47 has influenced other assault rifles.
