OK, so maybe they're not M-16s, but I needed to create a catchy title.

Call it ostentatious, tacky, or prodigal (heck, maybe it even suits your taste), but do you think that these guns still function correctly? I bet the guy had plenty of pedestrian firearms, too, and that he only brought the bejeweled ones out for parties.
Putting aside the fact this work was probably paid for with blood, is there any evidence of real craftsmanship here? Or is it cheap work done by someone with way too much money?
I guess drug dealers will do just about anything to one-up each other.
