Luckily for society, most people who shoot guns only do so when playing computer games. So I guess it's no surprise that someone would start selling [ammo-shaped flash drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bullet2). Streetwear giant Crooks & Castles' Bullet USB takes aim at the [novelty computer accessory market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esc-keys).

The Crooks & Castles Bullet USB is a 2GB drive made in the shaped of an [AK-47 bullet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klaro-30-caliber-smoke-can-humidor), one of the most revered weapons where gun-nuts are concerned. Now I'm not a gun fan but they look kind of neat. The Bullet USB is gold-painted with the Crooks & Castles logo and is available on the company's website.
