Macabre Machine Gun Art

Bruce Mahalski's Bone Artwork Gun is Made of Animal Bones

This bizarre form of bone artwork might not be for the faint of heart. Using animal bones as his medium, Bruce Mahalski has crafted an actual sized replica of an AK-47. It's not real, though; the only thing it shoots is cold, icy chills down one's spine.

I never read how Bruce finds the ample amount of bones used for his bone artwork, but most of me does not want to know. As others may feel the same, it grosses me out that he is actually holding it in his hands.

Bruce Mahalski has been featured on Trend Hunter before, but for his much smaller and less complex hand guns. Although I'm grossed out, I can admit how impressive this work is.
