You will probably want to save this post as I'm sure it will become a vital refernce to all "newbies".
Anyways, enough self congratulation, here is the post:
Today I received a "spam can" of "sniper" ammo in 7.62x54R from AIM along with some other stuff. I tore into the other types of ammo like a spoiled little girl, shrieking with delight and tossing paper hither and thither...
Well soon enough I encountered this "spam can". Having accounted for the rest of my ammo, i knew this to be the 7.62x54R.

Like anyone would do, I picked it up and shook it. I could hear the ammo inside wanting to get out, and i began to chatter like an angry chimpanzee as i rotated the sealed container in my hands. I tossed the can to the ground and stomped on it with all my strength, trying to get at the sweet prize within, but to no avail. It soon became apparent that some "tools" were needed.
Luckily i was born with "thumbs" these fallanges separate me from most common beasts, and with them i grasped some "tools"- a hammer and a screwdriver. I began beating on the spam can with them both in a frenzy of rage.
Finally i remembered (perhaps from television, "the best teacher") that i had seen other humans use hammers and chisels to get at things. The process is quite simple, and after a number of minutes i mastered it. Holding the screwdriver in my left hand, and the hammer in the right, I swung the hammer in an overhand motion and squashed my thumb.
(Warning- painful)
Soon i realized that hitting the screwdriver worked best, and after a few swings I had made a tiny hole. My eyes went alight with happiness and i used the claw end to enlargen the hole.

I could barely contain my excitement! THere was the box! I could see it! smell it!! touch it!! what fun!!

Well, at this point i began to chatter and babble to myself as my fingers pulled the little bits of paper which hid my shiny treats. I ripped apart the box I could see and pulled all the ammo from within!! Finally it was mine!! WOO HOO!!!

I had done it!! all i had to do was rip apart every box within the spam can and i'd have 240 loose rounds of ammo!
I realized this was not very desirable. After another 15 sweaty minutes of smashing the hammer into my thumb and wrist, I had enlargened the hole.
I am man!
I conquer all!!
Here's the ammo:

WHo needs proper tools eh?? It only took me 45 minutes to get into this, and with little thought too!!!
You may congradulate me now.
