I'm thinking there might be a market for genetically modified organic patterns. A cabbage would be a good start to develop a Chinese cannon ball. The bananna seems to be a pretty fair approximation of a machine handle.

Yes, but it you used it as a handle on an AR-15, it would be illegal in Connecticut.

Other fruit may be legal.
