Maybe you can use these weapons with your new camouflaged Iomega eGo Camo portable hard disk drive (HDD) but somehow I doubt they’d fit in with regular combat clothing. You may need to add a Philip Treacy hat to pull it off.
We see lots of blinged gadgets and items here but it’s not often that the world’s leading fashion labels are used to adorn deadly weapons. Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Gucci and other fashion labels are used by artist, Peter Gronquist, to soften up the fact that these babies can kill you.

That Burberry Rifle is just shocking... Honestly, who puts a silver trigger next to a gold magazine??? Fashion, my arse!
lol ^
I want the chanel RPG! Lol.
I gotta say, WHY?! Apart from being funny, I cannot see the 'art' or 'fashion' in this.
Your right, that electric chair is just disturbing.
Whilst I think pretty much everything on this page is amazing, and I want that Murikami Kalashnikov on my wall at home, I don't think this page is complete without a mention of Tom Sachs, who made a Chanel Guillotine(http://www.tomsachs.org/works/chanelguillotine.htm) ten years ago in '98. And I reckon carried the whole thing off a lot better. His 'Prada Death Camp' is really chilling too, and you should see what he's been up to with a Scalextric set!
