This machine gun ammo won’t kill the taste of your drinks. Unlike actual AK-47 machine gun ammo that isn’t so friendly, the AK-47 [ice cube tray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpanel-nugget-ice-maker) will get your drinks iced in a good way. If you are a gun enthusiast, this machine gun ammo in the form of ice will give you a laugh as you enjoy your [favorite cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24-ices-frozen-cocktails).

The machine gun ammo ice tray is actually a double-sided mold that produces exact replica ice cubes. The mold, when closed, also looks just like the clip from an Ak-47. The ice tray makes 10 [frozen bullets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klaro-30-caliber-smoke-can-humidor) that are very simple to create; simply fill the tray with water, snap it shut and put it in the freezer. The clip is specially designed to produce perfect machine gun ammo ice cubes every time.
