Unique .50 Cal Bottle Opener

I collect several unusual things, among them are bottle openers which seem to have a useful purpose if you like beverages that come in bottles. This is my latest addition made from a fired .50 cal round and I have bench tested it, and yes it can open a cold beer bottle with a single stroke! Cheers......

I can't resist... If you blow on it like a flute will it whistle?

I have not tried that because there is only one opening and I don't want to cut my lip.

Very cool! Saw a recent episode on Shark Tank where the folks were asking for money had made something like this. Wonder if that was the same folks?

Thanks for taking a look, I believe that whistles take two or more openings to produce sound (intake and exhaust).

I can make a beer bottle into a sort of whistle by blowing across the top. There is only one opening!

I went to a gun show last week and they were selling them there. Didn't get one because I already have too much stuff.
