Turn your deadly assault rifle into a fun golf ball launcher

Want to attract attention down at the local golf club? Just screw this attachment onto a handy assault rifle, and you can fire golf balls over 250 yards without having to swing a club.

The Golf Ball Launcher screws on to the barrel of any AR-15, M4, or M16 assault rifle, and propels the ball using the output of blanks loaded in the magazine.

The product site has some handy words of advice: "Do not use live rounds. All rules of firearm safety apply. Misuse of the golf ball launcher is potentially dangerous, and it is not a toy."

No kidding. How long until we hear some story about some fool using this thing, and forgetting about the live round sitting in the gun's chamber resulting in a tragedy?

The Golf Ball Launcher is available from Cheaper Than Dirt for $19.97.
