Can you imagine the different directions your firearm will pull to as those mags empty out?

I have to admit the 20 seconds the enemy will spend laughing hysterically and saying “What the fuck is _that??_” might give you a tactical advantage.

Bwahaha! My guess was that it would be a keg tap, what could be more superfluously ridiculous than that? You answered it 🙂

You only _think_ you jest! At least one iteration of the Galil battle rifle has a bottle-cap opener integrated with the magazine well. The previous edition of the weapon had a mag well that was convenient for popping bottle tops, but that mis-use was danaging things, so the next iteration, the armory just rolled with it, and incorporated the function. 😛
