Fun factoid about the Galil. :laugh:
Production began with three versions: the standard automatic rifle machine gun (ARM), an automatic rifle (AR) for support troops and military police, and a short automatic rifle (SAR) for vehicle crews, staff and specialty troops. The ARM was distinguished by its carrying handle and a bipod that could be rotated against an adjacent extension to serve as a wire cutter. In response to a tendency on the part of IDF personnel to open bottles on the front lip of ammunition magazines, eventually bending them out of shape, the Galil also incorporated an extension under the front handguard that served as a bottle opener.

I’m a bit surprised bottle opener hasn’t been on the list of features that are used in most of the “Assault Weapons” definitions or banned features. If I recall correctly the Galil and clones were part of the original 1994 AWB.

I thought every gun came with a bottle opener? Most just do a messy job of it.

Not nearly as sexy as the Spencer Coffee Grinder Carbine.

Wait until they find out we used to have a machine gun that would dig for potatoes.

You don't need a rifle for that, just a magazine:

My first thought on the OP was "What, no corkscrew?"

That would be on a French rifle.

The makarov pistol can open bottles when the slide is locked back!

I can remember Nick sitting here by the fire opening bottles with some mag. We may have been drunk at the time.

Possible modifications!
