If born rich AND foolish then the rifle is certainly for you.

How do you aim that abomination? It seems to be a marriage special.Just point it into the air and fire a celebratory shot.
Perhaps it is built to be fired into the air when one of the sheikhs begum delivers a boy.They certainly seem to be bored to death in these oil rich countries perhaps this will help to relieve some of the boredom.They do seem to be looking for thrills

Not for me. There is some sucker with lots of money to buy it.That is not me.Not even if I had that kind of money. I have my doubts if they even made the action themselves. Looks like Grumpy's Husqvarna/Antonio Zoli action. Nice find though.

This father son duo is having very hard time selling the VO rifles they already have in stock.

There were times when you could put some gold on anything and take it to Middle eastern exhibition and it was sold and many major gun names did cash on the opportunity but now things are different almost all well off sheikhs have retired high ranking army officers as their personal "gun shoppers" and they know their stuff.

This explains why those VO rifles are still for sale you need to be "born rich" with extremely bad state to buy something like that.

The Peregrine Falcon engraving is certainly beautiful and no doubt the effort is there to see in the quality of wood, fittings etc. Most mass produced rifles costing a fraction of the vulgar price quoted shoot just as well.

If they tried this stunt on Indian roads, the poor chaps might hit a speed breaker and launch off towards the clouds, or plunge into a pothole and get the legs sheared off at the knees. That would be thrilling to watch and a sure cure for boredom that they seem to suffer from.

Is that what is leading to these gold plated AK 47's that we get to see from time to time ?

I agree that a certain communities are more prone to commit certain follies but I think it is not right to generalize people like; yes Middle East is full of nouveau riche but so is rest of the world. “West” finds it quiet hard to digest the rapid change in Middle East and that’s why they are more prone to jokes etc some of the best gun, cars, antiques etc. are in Middle East at the moment not all of them have bad taste.

Some Middle Eastern households are almost on verge of owning some leading gun makers in Britain.

The gold plated AK’s came out of Iraq and was all over the media with half of U.S army posing with them to be very frank it doesn’t cost much to gold plate and yes they look gross. I don’t think they come up time to time.

The video is quiet hilarious but young men always find a way to satisfy their raging hormones some jump of the mountains ,some like to slide on highways! I think it’s about raging hormones than Arabs.
