It is our fascination with death, perhaps, that makes us view everything from the eye of destruction. Like connection cheese cake with Frankenstein, we make gross associations that appear almost insane in retrospect.
The Paillard Bolex H8 Military gun is a weapon that you wouldn’t want to choose when you are in danger, because instead of shooting bullets this gun can only shoot videos. With a camera attached, the gun was apparently made for a Vietnam War reporter. The rare gun would definitely have placed the reporter in more trouble instead of helping him out of a dangerous situation. The camera attached has 5x lenses so you would be able to shoot some pretty good pics with this little weapon.

A certain movie of Brad Pitt’s revolves around a very special Spanish rifle that was as beautiful as it was historically important. Ever since I watched the movie, I have wanted a rifle similar to that one to own as my own.
This VO Vapen rifle sounds way cooler than the Spanish rifle I lost sleep over. VO Vapen was founded by gunsmith Viggo Olsson and deals with the crafting of exclusive handmade hunting rifles. Featured above is the Royal Collection UAE Edition which costs $525,000 and of which only 100 pieces were made. The best by VO Vapen, however, is a one of a kind rifle with engraved grip cap, gold inlays and 36 multicoloured diamonds was made as a tribute to H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the mosque named after him in Abu Dhabi. Priced at a staggering $825,000, the rifle is crafted in the design of a chandelier at the mosque.
