My Little Pony Carbine, Care Bear Body Armor, and other fictional cute materiel

GlamGuns, the same pranksters who brought us the Hello Kitty AK-47, have a whole line of glamorous notional militaria, including Care Bear Body Armor and a My Little Pony M4A1 Carbine. (via Threat Level)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Grrrr, sorry for the double posting.

Original idea: maybe funny.
Ringing the changes: lazy recycling of the same joke.

THeir photoshop skills are better than mine, but I was first :-)

The above examples may be fake, but to my delight, such things do exist.

I’ve seen pictures of custom AR-15 carbines set up for small girls and their owners posing with them. They had 22lr conversion uppers (lower recoil) and cool paint schemes. One was purple with pink hearts and the other was basic black but with pink furniture. I could post a link to the pics, but I really don’t want to hose the server hosting them.

The girls looked really happy with their rifles. I feel certain that they are great shots.

At last – guns for little girls!
