Tunes with your rounds sir?
“A British-based company is selling MP3 players which can be attached to an assault rifle. The ‘AK-MP3’ player is built into the ammunition clip of a Kalashnikov. It can be swapped with the real magazine carrying bullets and inserted into the weapon. ... It comes with enough storage space to hold 9,000 songs. Former Russian rock star Andrey Koltakov, a partner in the dotcom company offering the AK-MP3 for sale, said: ‘This is our bit for world peace — hopefully, from now on many militants and terrorists will use their AK-47s to listen to music and audio books.’” (02/08/04)
This is a neat accessory for the worldly mercenary. Now someone needs to come up with a handy cigar holder to stick in the butt of the gun and I would be sorted (complete with cutter and lighter of course).
No doubt one of the most popular tracks on the AK-MP3 will be ‘Rock’ the Casbah’ by the Clash. Of course, I would prefer something along the lines of ‘Highway to Hell’ by AC/DC, ‘Wake up Dead’ by Megadeth or ‘Run to the Hills’ by Iron Maiden. What would be yours?

Well, The Clash have lots:
Death or Glory, Spanish Bombs, Tommy Gun, Safe European Home maybe?
Black Flag – Damaged II: Greatest opening line for a fight – “My name is Henry, and your here with me now!”. Well, you’ve got to hear how Henry Rollins says it.
Metallica – For Whom the Bell Tolls
Attention Kalashnikov Owners
Okay. Is this the world’s dumbest gun accessory, or what?...
Perhaps the company could have the MP3 players come standard with soothing, calming music. That way, if someone buys a gun in a rage to go out and shoot someone, they’ll have a chance to calm down and think rationally about it before blowing someone’s head off.
FYI, your link to Rational Review is broken.
How about War Pigs, or Iron Man, by Black Sabbath?

Happiness is a Warm Gun – John Lennon
I can’t wait until some peace and love advocate (who like many of the tranzi crowd goes gaga over radical chic) attends his first peace riot to the tune of whatever his ammo clip is playing today – and gets taken seriously by the cops.
Will his excuses come fast and clear enough to save his life?
