Martin Postler’s Paper AK-47 Kit

August 15th, 2008 by BallerHouse

paper ak-47 kit
Here’s one way to stay busy in the office when the day slows down. Martin Postler’s AK-47 is exactly what the name implies, a paper kit that lets you cut and paste together your own realistic-looking Awtomat Kalaschinkowa assault rifle. Earlier this summer some of the UK’s most-respected street artists took to decorating the gun for the Paper Wars exhibit in London. Probably the most fun application for the AK, although you’ll need to be an “experienced crafter” to get the paper rifle to this stage. At a price of $42, there’s more than a slight profit margin built into the product. But we like it anyway. Although, unless you run your own shop or your boss is extremely chill, the paper AK is probably best suited for your home office.
