DIY Beer Weapons

Making Canchucks is the Best Way to Recycle

Canchucks are perfect for any drunk looking for some Japanese flair in their fighting style.

These beer can weapons are attached by a metal chain so one can swing them around in a very Bruce Lee fashion. The cans come already emptied, so you don’t have to drink the beers before assembling the kit (otherwise there would be a lot of drunken nun-chuck accidents). The cans are actually filled with foam, so they’re not as dangerous as their more traditional, firmer nun-chuck sister; however, they could still do some damage in the wrong hands.

The selection of Canchucks ranges from Colt 45 to Pabst Blue Ribbon weapons. Whether you use these beer nun-chucks as a decorative item or as a weapon is up to you.
