When police raided a home in Luleå in northern Sweden last November they discovered a small arsenal of weapons, including a shot-gun built into a guitar.

The police had received a tip off that the 54-year-old man was hoarding a bevy of unlicensed firearms in his house and performed a raid.
"They are therapy to keep off the drink," the man told police interrogators, according to the local Norrländska Demokraten (NSD).
Aside from the six more conventional weapons found in the apartment and a quantity of ammunition, police discovered that a wall-mounted guitar was not quite as it first appeared.
The neck of the guitar has been hollowed out and equipped with two shotgun barrels, while the body of the string instrument contained the beginnings of trigger mechanism.
In police interviews the man described the home made musical weapon as "a fun thing that was not finished".
Police found a further six weapons including a sawn off shotgun, a home made sub-machine gun, a Mauser rifle, two revolvers and a walking stick adapted to function as a rifle.
Stickers belonging to three known gangs in the Luleå area were also found at the man's house and led to police suspicions that the 54-year-old was buying and selling stolen weapons.
The man is now set to face charges concerning aggravated weapons crimes and receiving stolen goods, the newspaper reported.

Scandinavia, you so silly.
They take their metal seriously there.
A shotgun guitar? Now THAT is badass.
Imagine if it had an in-built magazine like most modern shotguns, that'd make it a weapon fit for a modern Bard.
I bet the police posed for pictures with that thing
"Hey you fuckers! Your music sucks!"
*Chick Chick... BOOM!*
"So what does this guitar actually do exactly?"
"Well just play it as you would"
"Well ok *Plays guitar* but I don't undeOHMYGODWHATHEFUCK"
"So uh is it SCP material?"
Now [i]this[/i] is metal.
Sounds like the guitar in Last Man Standing.

I must have one.
A shotgun?
I was ready to make an Ax joke. :saddowns:
thats metal
What a fucking coincidence, me and my friend were discussing what weapons are suitable instruments.
We agreed however that the electric guitar was an automatic rifle, and the bass was a shotgun.
Makes sense, no?
I assume it only shoots after a sweet guitar solo
Holy god, thats brutal.
This just in: A swedish metal fan's tip led the local police to interrogate a known metal guitarist, who apparently twitted something suspicious related to a new custom guitar.

I'd be content with dying after hearing the solo in Free Bird.

no, it's perfectly explainable, so it wouldn't be
From scandinavia with love I guess
1930's New York gangsters ain't got nothing on this shit!
It looks like it doesn't work. I mean the gun works, but I don't see a fretboard or a headstock on that thing. It's just a guitar-shaped-shotgun, not a guitar with a shotgun in it :saddowns:
It apparentaly gives some blasting riffs.
Fuck I want that guitar.

Guess he replaces drinking with casual shooting. Must be an alchie in recovery.
This should be in like a future Metaloclypse episode! He could sell the idea to them and make decent cash.
imagine if it actually worked and it only shot every time you played a certain awesome riff. that'd be badass.
Swedish guitarist making a guitar weapon?
