How About This As A Great Holiday Gift Idea?

One of the most useful things in the world, a bottle opener. Whilst you can use other methods to open a bottle of beer, a bottle opener still does it best. Optimus Prime had written about the Must Have Rail Mounted Accessory Ever, I want to write about the best bottle opener that you can send as a gift to your airsoft mates ever --- the .50 Caliber Bottle Opener and still be able to help wounded veterans and their families.

Immediately out of stock when word got out, according to Vat19.com "Each bottle opener is made from "once fired" .50 cal BMG brass collected from firing ranges in U.S. military installations and then machined by hand into a unique and durable bottle opener." At the cost of US$19.99, it's a great gift for your airsoft and real steel shooting friends. And feel good when you know that 30% of the proceeds will be donated.

The recipient foundation is the Travis Manion Foundation, named after US Marine Travis Manion who was killed by sniper rifle whilst defending against an ambush in Iraq in 2007 and a Combat Post was named after the Iraqis as a sign of respect to him, just one of the few Combat Posts that were named after Americans service man.

In Vat19.com FAQ about the product, these complete deactivated rounds and are not collected from the battle zones. The bullet is fully securd to the casing and will not snap off after many use.

We do not recommend it being placed in your pocket when going through airports as it may arouse suspicions and too many questions, so it would be best if you put it in your checked-in luggage when you plan to travel with it by plane. Some countries may just put you in detention when they find you carrying one of these, even if these are deactivated, like Singapore where they are very strict with these.

So if you are out of ideas on what gift you want to give to your shooting friends this holiday season, then this will be the perfect one. It is expected to be in stock again on the 20th of December so better reserve yours as soon as you can.
