paper AK47

with the old version you could have gotten killed. with the new (and improved) one, you only have to watch out for paper cuts and excess glue inhalation.

design troupe postler ferguson describes these 1:1 paper kit AK47s as bringing ‘the contradictory experience of weapons into the home’, the aim being to demonstrate that they are ‘admirably designed and aesthetically fascinating and simultaneously terrifying in their lethality’.

the papercraft AK47 and hand grenade kits are available now through magma bookstores UK. i’m not sure if the full-size anti-aircraft gun will be made available any time soon. would be very very cool if it was.
