I ordered 2 cans of ammo from aim surplus... what's the best way to get INTO the cans?

I thought they included a can opener if you ordered two or more.

Shoot it?

It can be done with a screwdriver but be careful.. Those primers are pointed straight up

I probably have a spare opener around if you need one

Obviously you have found the perfect place to use the cahinsaw bayonet

i'm sure there's one in the case, i must have missed it. i'll try the opener and see how that works, otherwise, i'll improvise.... the wife hates it when i improvise....

If you use a can opener to pop a hole and break the seal along one of the edges you can insert a flat bladed screwdriver at an angle and then hit it (from the side) with a hammer to "cut" the can open around the edges.

At the Fleet Farm where I buy my cans, the dumb kids in the sporting goods department have been throwing away the can openers because they didn't know what they were. I tried using a regular can opener, but the ones we have are not sharp and strong enough to penetrate the lid. Maybe an old American-made can opener that has some heft to it would be up to the task.

I ended up useing the screwdriver and hammer method for the first few inches. I got nervous about it because some of the rounds are sitting bottom-up next to the sides of the can. If you mess up and hit a primer, you will probably not have a very good day. The metal top is relatively thin, so I used a pair of tin snips to continue opening up the top far enough to get the packages out. I think it took me about five minutes to do that, so it wasn't too bad.

Wear gloves!

This is how all of my bad ideas start. I think it would work for getting that can open, however.

I think that they use rocks................

This works for me.
