OK, prove it.

How many bottle openers on a GI 1911?

JohnnyT · 07-02-2010, 06:45 AM

Back in the day when we actually needed a bottle opener...and I didn't have one on hand...I always just used the lanyard loop and a partially inserted magazine. Never saw the need to look for any more.

This is not something I would recommend for your Ed Brown Executive Target, but the gap between a locked back barrel and dust cover works.

If you were a young thirsty GI forty years ago, that WWII Ithaca you were issued could stand the abuse.

Could be one more?

Well...Marines usually just pried'em off with their teeth.

U.S. Army paratroopers always brought a little class to what otherwise would be sordid affair in the mud and blood.

JohnnyT · 07-02-2010, 06:59 PM

Yeah. We had to go get those goobers outta the mud and blood on more'n one occasion.
