Screw perfume, buy her a Chanel rocket launcher
We already showed you how to stay fashionable in urban combat situations. Along the same lines, Peter Gronquist has jazzed up retired rifles, chainsaws, machine guns and artillery shells and slapped big names on them: Louis Vuitton, Coach, Gucci — probably not the brands you think of when you imagine a rocket launcher or an electric chair. There's even a Pac-Man grenade.
Dubbed "The Revolution will be Fabulous," Gronquist's show opened last night at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. The pieces ranged from anywhere from a few hundred bucks to several thousand and several, such as the Louis Vuitton chainsaw, have sold.
Check out the gallery below for more fabulous weaponry.

Not unique, just a ripoff of Antonio Riello's Lady's weapons! The only difference he put some luxury brand names.

What a sad waste of perfect good (or restorable) SKS's!

Guns should never become fashion, what guns are designed for? i dont have to answer do i? this is very bad and very bad taste, for a movie maybe would looklike something different, but today everybody follow the tv tendencies and fashion.. so what should we expect?

I'd have to say my favorite is the louis chain saw the guns sorry to say look like junk toys the finishes could have been a lot better.
