The 'Bust a Bottlecap' opener is probably the only set of tools that can both pop off a cap and function as a close-range weapon at the same time.

As one can see, the Bust a Bottlecap opener gives off a bit of a dangerous vibe considering the form they take. All the cap poppers are shaped as weapons with a hard metallic finish that actually makes it look a little more badass. Each of the perforated holes will offer a proper grip for the item, some of which feature a rubber handle for better security. Those interested will have the option of using a revolver, a 9mm handgun, a grenade or brass knuckle-shaped bottle opener for their beverage.
