Amir Khan sparks fury on Instagram as he poses with sub-machine gun saying ‘Get ready for the new Terminator’

BOXER Amir Khan has been blasted for glamourising guns during a Pakistan trip.

The fighter and role model posted photos and videos of himself with an MP5 sub-machine gun and shooting a pistol during target practice with local cops.

He posted a gun-toting picture saying: “Get ready for the new Terminator.

“Me carrying the MP5.”

Then a video with the caption: “Pakistan Police special unit teaching me how to pull the trigger.”

The video was viewed thousands of times and scores of the fighter’s Instagram followers were not impressed.

Mujooo wrote: “There is enough war in the world, stop posting such pics.”

Mij_Sheehan said: “Yeah guns are real cool.

“Nice one Amir.”

And jonboyrussell added: “Not a good role model for kids who follow you.”

In the video Khan, wearing ear protectors and glasses, is seen holding a handgun with his back to a target.

He then spins around and fires off five shots.

Smiling Amir then gets a round of applause and a few more pointers from his instructor.

It is not the first time the boxer has caused gun controversy.

In 2014 The Sun revealed how he had caused outrage by posting a photo of himself online posing with a shisha pipe shaped like an AK47 assault rifle.

Ex-world champion Khan, 29, added with the snap: “AK with an AK Shisha.

“I don’t smoke it.

“But I saw it and decided to take u all a pic.”

Khan, of Bolton, also faced a barrage of criticism when he tweeted a picture of himself with a knife.

Earlier this week he was slammed by Frank Warren after he said he wanted to fight for Pakistan at the Rio Olympics and was labelled a “traitor” on social media.
