Apr 14 2009Dangerously Delicious: The BA-K-47
The BA-K-47 is a full size replica of an AK-47 made out of bacon (and wire). Quick, put it in my mouth and pull the trigger! Mmmm, lardy!
We had our first annual Bacon Day this past Saturday. As a huge fan of bacon, and all the great bacon blogs out there, I decided it was time for me to make my own bacon creation. I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch... oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too.
ZOMG -- you know beer too?! The trouble that guy and I used to get into! Like yesterday when he told me to steal my neighbor's car and drive it into a ravine! And right now when he told me to type that despite on ongoing investigation. Hold on, door.
UPDATE: COPS -- DAMN YOU BEER!
UPDATE: You know I didn't mean that. Now get over here and give daddy a little sippy-sippy.
Hit the jump for a whole bunch more.
BA-K-47 [thisisfreakingridiculous]
Thanks to Nick, who actually made the thing, for fulfilling my love of guns and bacon simultaneously.

Guns don't kill people... heart attacks caused by eating bacon guns kill people...
Now, if someone could just get the darn mouse out of the mustard we could have a proper meal... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdFb9uidV2U

not taking in count the zero.... VERY clever!
btw... why are you americans so obsessed with the bacon, or is it just the geekologie writer?
12. AtomicSquid - April 14, 2009 5:37 PM
What a waste of bacon...I doubt he ate any of it after setting it on the pavement...the fun of a bacon gun would be the eventual eat-ability of it...
13. lol - April 14, 2009 6:23 PM
A waste of bacon, I'll tell you what.
14. naas 日本に行く in matsumoto - April 14, 2009 6:43 PM
I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry, but beauty is in the eye of the baconholder.
It's only a waste of bacon if it's not eaten

20. um. - April 14, 2009 7:24 PM
It just looks like an AK-47 wrapped in bacon, because I can see the trigger in the 2nd pic. fail.
21. Nick - April 14, 2009 7:46 PM
um,
Nope... I made the trigger too.

God.
Just looking at those pictures makes me want to wash my hands.
And actually
*washes hands*
26. Wet One - April 14, 2009 10:47 PM
What's the point? It's obviously just bacon wrapped around a mould (might even be a real gun under there?). At least the other bacon-made things have been self supporting creations where the bacon itself has been shaped and plaited and whatnot. Wrapping things in bacon and then taking a torch to it takes no skill at all.

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO FEMININE AND BORING? AND WTF IS "not taking in count the zero.... VERY clever!" SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

VIVA LA BACON REVOLUCION!!!
30. Daisy - April 15, 2009 4:07 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where MAx was making fish on the grill, naked, and flipped one into the air, letting it land face down in his ass crack.
31. centro - April 15, 2009 4:24 AM
I want real one.

Go fück yourself! How's that for feminine and boring?
What a waste of good bacon. I could have made 20 gallons of fish stew with that much bacon. Oh well. Does it shoot lard bullets?

It's not a waste of bacon, it's stimulating the economy. And it's beautiful.
36. I Hate Fakers - April 15, 2009 3:30 PM
@27
take it easy man! jesus.... OMG.... you got offended with the bacon thing right?
Im sorry, to make it up for you, I am glad to let you know that I won't kill you :D

Every jihadi in the world should be buried with one.
Extra crispy!
Philosopher Francis and Scientist Roger would approve.
40. John D - April 16, 2009 2:09 AM
OMG! You must know that the combination of the cholesterol laden bacon shaped into a facsimile of an assault weapon will attract the attention of the nanny staters.
Expect this BA-K-47 to be on the list of guns banned by Obama. You will also have to worry about the food police crashing through your front window in an attempt to take this off the street.
Do not resist! It's for your own good.
41. Abudaood Wolfson - April 16, 2009 4:28 AM
This is the pork barrel everyone is up in arms against?! I'm all for it and good on Obama for allowing programs such as these to continue. Count on some C.A.I.R.
spokesman to snort something about it soon enough, though. All the more reason to believe this shows promise, maybe a turning point in the Long War?
Maybe name it : Katreifnikov?
42. Your Mom - April 16, 2009 10:09 AM
Meanwhile on the other side of the world people are dying at the hands of actual AK47s or a complete lack of food.

That's one of the nastiest things I've ever seen.
And it's 14,205 times as awesome as it is nasty.
BACON! Is there nothing it can't do?

Imagine a fire fight kicks off, and after a few clips (or rashes) the smell of bacon drifts aroud the battle zone, hopefully next to a Starbucks and a bakery.
I love the smell of Bacon-palm in the morning
