[Blackhawk47]

Ordered 440 rounds of ammo thought it would come like my first order nice 20 round paper wrapped containers but no!!! this time it came in a sardine can, been looking at it for a couple of days now, QUESTION : is there some easy way to get this can open that I am not seeing. It looks like to me I should have some type of can opener. Help!!!!!

The tins I've bought require an actual can opener. One comes in each case of two tins. If you bought a tin separately, you may have to buy an opener separately or borrow one.

Flathead scewdriver would work to puncture the tin & then proceed to "chip" it open with the flat side along with a heavy hammer.

Be sure to wear hearing protection!

Good info thanks.
I can't help but think about the Brits at Isandlwanda and their ammo chests.

There should be a large version of a Planter's Peanut can opener or sadine can opener. If you can get it started, vice grips pulling the metal band oughta git er dun.

Thanks guys I found a couple of place on the internet that sells the can opener but all are sold out. I found a picture of one so right now I am thinking of making my own.

If you mail it back i'll mail you mine to use.

drill a large hole, then insert a pair of tin snips and go from there.

Thanks for the offer but I really need to buy or make one that I can hold on to, I do think with the idea the guys have given me I will get it open. also I have started designing my own can opener we will see if that works.

Thanks again for the offer
