    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      Loring: Let me guess, you already have plans drawn up with improvements.

      I think it's pretty cool. More a novelty than practical. A person could go thirsty waiting for it load and fire.

          Yeah, but after you have a few, your reaction time will slow down and it may be a short night. A loaded 12 0z. can can pack quite a punch. DAMHIKT. It is cool, though. Definitely out of the box thinking.

                I find that contraption unnecessarily complex, limited and trauma-prone. My idea is to mount a keg cooler behind the couch and run a hose. Then those on the couch can refill their glass (or take a sip directly) without getting up or risking a beer can to the head. Imagine bunch of guys watching TV and passing the hose around a la Indian peace pipe.

                  Of course. A guy invented it after all.

                  Well... you can have your hose that everybody else has sucked on, thank you. I will stick with a beer launcher.

                    Just your basic Rube Goldberg beer machine!


                    I thought college kids learned about a kegerator, and much chiller as end tables.
