So I got my first spam can today. Russian Silver tip from SGammo. I didn't get a can opener and I didn't even have any pull tabs. So in the absence of the proper tools for the job I improvised. Using my multitool I punched a whole in the can and then using the pliers and a cheap pair of wire cutters/strippers I cut a hole in the can just large enough to be able to pull out a few rounds. And I have to say I have a new found respect for anyone who has ever opened one of these cans.

I would not want to shave with a blow torch. Bad enough back in college I had a Chef (I went to school to cook and now I'm a banker. Life's funny that way) who threatened to shave me with a kitchen knife

They had to be strong n tough
They probably didn't need rifles if they came across an enemy they probably just caved in the guys skull with one of those cans, the **** things are heavy enough. It took me about 40 minutes to get in this much.

I heard there was a thread on here about opening ammo cans. You should check it out.
there is and the general consensus seemed to be that you either had a can opener or u went at it with whatever semi appropriate tool you had. in my case that was a multi-tool and wire cutters. and for the record I did see if my modern can opener would clamp on it there and i wasn't quite that lucky :P
Bigelkcanoe: If someone has a spare I still have a lot of can left to cut open and I would be forever grateful. That picture there is as far as I've gotten it open so far.

aaplayer, the simplest way to open them without the genuine opener is with a chisel and a hammer, just like you would cut open a metal barrel. That is stuff that you can get from your local Sears, auto parts store, home center, or hardware store.

next time I'll have to try that. This time I guess I was a little more of a fool excited for his first spam can. but its open now and i can pull everything out

Ahhhhhhh the joy of an impregnable spam can!! First one I got was about 40 minutes of me cursing and grunting with a multi tool and a pry bar. Got it a third open and just dumped it out! Can openers are a godsend! Just imagine losing your tool in the midst of combat and needing to open ur can!

I'm betting if you lost your can opener in combat were put on the front lines to smash nazi heads in with your unopened cans
