BA-K-47
Sunday, April 12, 2009 at 7:39PM 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.

I love you bacon.

Yall are my heroes
Nothing scarier to a muslim terrorist... than a bacon -47. send them straight to hell with these bullets tainted with the blood of the unclean animal and yet each time you fire it your stomach is looking for a side of eggs to go with each fresh kill. mmmm bacon.
When the Pentagon needed a new assault rifle to deal with the Jihadist threat, the BA-K 47 was the most logical choice.
wendy's baconator aint got nothing on this mofo! good god man i want one of those! now... out of curiosity would it be possible to cook eggs on the inside? lol
You must be American guys, huh? Never seen such stupid idiots before. No wonder, that the rest of the world thinks you are violent arrogant bastards.
EPIC
RIGHT UP THERE WITH BACON ICE CREAM
It's always wonderful to come across people like Pearl Silva (above) on the internet. They love to take extremist stances on mediocre issues, then completely refuse to justify their opinions, opting instead for poorly-structured, illiterate slander. Perhaps the best thing about people of his/her nature is that they feel obligated to compensate for their own lack of acceptance in society by degrading the accomplishments of others. (In this case, Pearl points out that Americans are "violent, arrogant bastards" for constructing AK-47s out of bacon. Logic, anyone? Anyone see the logic in that statement? Me neither.) My personal favorite is when the British criticize American gun ownership as grounds for labeling us as a bunch of inbred hicks. Never mind the fact that they were a GLOBAL EMPIRE built upon the decimation of DOZENS of nations via military power, forcing millions into positions of servitude and slavery to the Almighty Queen. Never mind the fact that violent crime rates throughout the UK (and London in particular) are among the highest in Europe. Never mind that England is the largest market for illegal arms in Western Europe. Never mind that gun regulation, rather than prohibition, is statistically proven to curb violent crime. Never mind all that. After all, when you're Pearl Silva, you can ignore the facts and stick to the half-truths and lies that you WANT to believe!
And one last point, Pearl: by and large, the rest of the world FUCKING LOVES US. If you think otherwise, then you've spent too much time believing the dribble that's fed to you through your imbalanced, biased, liberal media. After all, news is a business: they're literally out to SELL a story. Yellow journalism: do some research and alleviate the blindness with which you willingly deceive yourself.
Coward.
anonymous economists
i totally disagree. yank's are inbred hicks loLZ
All the jealous foreigners love to trash America, but you know what? These miscreants are "mysteriously" silent when payday comes around. Badmouth the U.S. all you want, it's still a fact we provide a large percentage of financial aid to underdeveloped counties.
Pear Silva, your brown is showing...heh.
Long live bacon & long live the good ol' U.S. of A.

More or less inbred that the british royal family?
The fact that Anonymous Economist talked about the Queen ruling the greta British Empire shws his ignorance, our Queen became Queen long after the decline of the Empire
Hey Poop (for brains):
Queen Victoria (1837-1901) ruled during the height of the British Empire. Give a hoot - read a book.
Oh well, we kicked Englands ass once and then in WW2 we saved their asses. They got rid of their guns and we had to give 'em guns so they could defend their country. I'm sure it will happen again and real soon. England...I laugh out loud! LOL!!!
The fact that Poop thinks Queen Elizabeth II is the only Queen in British history shows his ignorance.
I believe there is a global rule that is not being adhered to: Separation of Bacon & State. So let's get back to the main subject and praise this creation of porktitude.
Why are people pissed off about this? Its a gun made out of BACON. If it had been anything made out of bacon it would hold the same significance. Its a stupid project that a few people decided to do in their spare time. This isn't a metaphor for the US or anything more then some retarded idea that people decided to follow through with. While I believe this thing is awesome and hilarious and applaud the artistic ingenuity it must've taken to make this, it is still a rediculous (hence the site name) idea. Calm down people. And if you don't care for it there are millions of site with stuff you probably do care about out there so go to one of those. Why do you feel the need to bitch and moan because you think something is stupid? Let the people who enjoy it enjoy it and move on.
I love the BA-K-47!
was disappointed to read that wire was involved :(
And to clarify what Poop said, he said "our Queen became Queen long after the decline of the Empire"
He was obviously referring to Liz II, not all Queens ever on the throne.
The same was as if an American said "Our President is black", then he would definitely not be talking about ole Abe Lincon.
Anyway, this is no place for anything other than the admiration of such a fine looking piece of edible extravagance.
oh, and I don't label you as inbred hicks (unless you are, in which case it's justified)
But the majority of Brits who do label you like that don't do it because you have guns. They've either not been to the US, or they've only watched your tv shows which is how your media portrays you.
Albeit mostly in a comedy sense, but if Americans can make fun out of inbred hick Americans then i think you'll have to get used to other people doing it to.
Don't take things so personally.
:)
ever thought of making some solid bacon grenades to go with that?
a bacon hunting knife?
You could recreate Rambo with bacon. Even his red headband could be fashioned from darker smoked raw strips of bacon.
I hope that gun was edible otherwise it was just a waste of tasty bacon!
For the love of bacon, stop your bickering! It's not a political statement, it's a bunch of people who thought it would be cool to make a bacon gun and blog about it. And, guess what, IT IS COOL.
I love this post to bacon-bits.
