Quaddafi and His James Bond Style Gold-Plated Guns

 The following are just a few of the items in gold that Muammar Quaddafi collected:

A new version of the Browning M1911A1, also known as the Colt .45. It can be seen on closeup to read Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q. It also had a side view of the colonel's head.


Similarly recovered from his compound is a golden machine gun that looks like an AK-47.

The third example is a Makarov PMs. It is a standard weapon of the Russian army - a smaller sidearm.

The fourth golden gun is another Makarov PMs.


The fifth is another Browning automatic with a black handle.


Further, it was reported that when rebels found Quadafi, he was wearing gold pants.
