You're probably familiar with the image of a flower placed in the barrel of a gun. The iconic scene is meant to convey a need for peace — and has been seen on T-shirts, posters, etc.

 

But what if guns really did shoot flowers?

It's a clever take on that iconic image — though judging by the action, it appears to be just as deadly.
