— March 28, 2013 — Art & Design
Anyone looking to add some striking pieces of kitchenware to their mug collection will absolutely love this Battle Mug, which looks more like a military piece of equipment than something to drink out of.

This drinking container is as tall as a beer glass, features ridges all down the side, and has a handle that is tough enough for battle. Not only does this manly drinking mug look as if it's out of a video game, but it also comes equipped with rails that you can use to attach to a variety of other objects such as a tactical light, laser or bayonet.

This weapon-inspired mug is perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their ordinary drinking devices with hardcore military-like accessories.
