Will it actually fire the cap across the room?
Yes. The Sidearm clears about 8–12 feet on a clean trigger pull. The Mortar puts caps roughly 6–10 feet into the air, depending on the bottle and how much weight you put on the press. We recommend not aiming at a face, a window, or a mother-in-law you'd like to keep on speaking terms with.
Does it work on bottles that aren't beer?
That's the entire point. CAPLAUNCHERS works on any standard capped glass bottle — craft soda, kombucha, sparkling water, glass-bottle juice, hot sauce, root beer, mexican cola, ginger beer, fancy olive oil, the imported drinks aisle, your kid's birthday-party glass sodas. If it has a crown cap or a metal twist-off, we launch it.
Is it safe? Around kids? Pets? My slightly nervous golden retriever?
The Sidearm is a plastic novelty. The Mortar is a tube and a press. Neither contains explosives, springs that can pinch fingers, or anything sharper than a standard bottle opener. That said — they LAUNCH bottle caps. Treat them like you'd treat a paintball gun at the dinner table: with humor, with awareness, and not toward the dog.
Twist-offs or pry-offs?
The Mortar handles both — twist-offs and pry-offs alike, on any standard bottle. The Sidearm is purpose-built for crown-cap (pry-off) bottles. If most of what you drink is twist-off only, the Mortar is your move.
How fast does it ship?
2–4 business days across Lebanon. No long waits, no mystery timelines. Free shipping kicks in at $49 (which conveniently is the price of The Arsenal — almost like we did that on purpose).
What if it breaks?
The 60-day guarantee covers it, full stop. If your unit arrives damaged or fails in the first two months, we replace it, no forms, no shipping fee, no proof-of-purchase scavenger hunt. One email and you're back in business.
Is this a real gift, or just a gag?
Both. That's exactly the point. It's the only gift category that hits humor, function, and "where did you GET that?" in one box — which is why it shows up at every bachelor party, Father's Day, white elephant, groomsman gift, and gag-but-actually-amazing birthday haul we know about.
Do you do bulk orders? Groomsmen, corporate, etc.?
We do. Anything over 10 units gets a flat 20% off, free shipping, and a custom thank-you card we'll print with your message. Email squad@caplaunchers.co with your headcount and we'll send pricing within one business day.
What's the catch?
The catch is you're going to spend the next six months opening every capped bottle in the house with one of these things — beers, sodas, kombuchas, hot sauce, the imported juice. Your guests are going to ask for one. You're going to send the link in three different group chats. We are not sorry. That was always the plan.
