‘Battle Mug’: Check Out This Amazing Laser Sighted Coffee Cup

Feb. 27, 2012 3:49pm Buck Sexton

Why drink coffee out of a standard foam cup when you can rock out with a tactical “Battle Mug” with three scope rails made to military specifications?

Introducing the Battle Mug, made by U.S firm OpticsPlanet. You don’t have to go through BUDS training with the SEALS to have the most high speed looking coffee cup imaginable in your cubicle.

The Battle Mug is made from an aluminum block and can hold a pint of the tastiest caffeine concoctions, or even your favorite microbrew.

The Daily Mail has more on this unusually creative beverage container, including that is has:

“A night vision unit… three different laser dots, a bottle opener, two carry handles with night sights – and a bipod for standing it up on. Each $250 mug is custom-engraved with its own unique serial number, includes a removable AR15 carry handle.”

Here OpticsPlanet’s Steve Ledin demonstrates in a YouTube video the mug’s capabilities, which includes the astute observation that it’s “not just functional, it’s tactical,” courtesy of Optics Planet:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  Holo sight, foregrip, night scope, carry handle, laser sight….Heck, if I could get all that gear for $250, I’d buy it an wouldn’t even use the mug. No way it comes with all that stuff. Probably just the mug, rails, and carry handle.

That thing really is $249. I thought people were joking on here but holy smoke – it is! I’m a huge coffee drinker, gun nut and scope guy but come on, that’s just nuts.

It’s real. http://www.opticsplanet.com/s/mug/
The OPMOD Battle Mug is like no other mug you’ve seen! This massive mountain of a mug combines three Mil-Spec 1913 scope rails and a block of CNC-machined 6061 T6 billet aluminum with the capacity to hold a sizable 24 ounces of your favorite frothy beverage. The OPMOD Battle Mug is built to military specs – the rails are real military-specification rails, the handle is an actual AR-15 carry handle mounted to one of the rails, and the body is serious hard-core metal, machined out of a 13.5-pound solid

$249.99 A little pricy, but geez!

Ok… I usually prefer to read the comments instead of posting one,
But I just have to point out the obvious Law Suit that will be filed
as soon as some bone head forgets he has coffee in this thing and
tries to look through the scope and dumps hot coffee in his lap and
burns his pubes off…..
