Here's a video clip that's going viral in Youtube, with almost 4 million views since it was posted last 06 July. The clip shows a group of West African soldiers playing with a chimpazee and one of them gives the chimp an AK-47. The chimp, in no time, learns to squeeze rounds with the rifle and toyed with the soldiers, making them scamper around and hide from it. The chimp then escapes with the rifle.

The lesson? Don't give a monkey a rifle. Or is it?

The comments section, unfortunately, are not something to read with too many racist comments. What I did appreciate about is how Gear Scout mentioned the Jungle Book Song's "I Wan'na Be Like You". If you are familiar with the song, here are some excerpts from the lyrics:

"I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!"

"What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true"

Indeed, the video pertains to the upcoming movie Rise of Planet of the Apes, where an experiment that went beyond of the expectations of researchers, made the species to start talking, think, and act like humans, and eventually rose in rebellion against their human masters.

Just imagine playing against primates armed with airsoft guns. That would be surreal.
