Related to Red Army Vodka, Pepesza has taken form of an alcohol AK-47, known as a Kalashnikov. This gun is almost identical to the ones which were used by the Soviet Union during World War II.

This dangerous looking gun comes in a wooden box with six [shot glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-comfort-soconsole) and a grenade-20cl-of [vodka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vodka-by-saintwoods).

Instead of pouring booze down your friend's throat straight from the bottle, you can now shoot them their favorite booze.

**Implications** - Red Army Vodka's AK-47 may just be the new favourite gadget for many people to bring to wild college parties. Granted, when the cops show up be sure to stash the gun!
