What souvenirs should you buy when traveling to Russia? In addition to agate and Russian nesting dolls, there's now a new option—AK47 rifle merchandise! At the duty-free shops in Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, you can purchase various replica rifles launched by the weapons manufacturer Kalashnikov Concern.

According to interestingengineering.com, the first AK47 rifle souvenir shop opened at Moscow’s second-largest airport, where the renowned weapons manufacturer Kalashnikov introduced these replica rifles. Even if you don’t buy one, you can still appreciate the unique concept of a souvenir shop from the fighting nation—it really is something else.

The store manager said that opening a shop at the airport is exciting—after all, passengers can start buying these non-lethal items once they've passed through security, which is part of what makes this store such a talking point.
