Right, that's the rules put to one side.

The gun comes in two forms, a pistol and a rifle.Each works upon the same principle.

The guns grappling system, is a high powered magnetic pincered grappling hand attached to a fast retractable line wire.

Aim the gun at the unopened beer cans, pull the trigger.The grappling hand is shot forward with the line wire attached.If a hit is successful, the pincers on the hand will wrap around the beer can, pull the trigger again.

The beer can should now be hurtling towards you or bouncing about in your general direction.If it is hurtling towards you, duck and grab can, open and swig.

The first uninjured to achieve the latter is the winner.

       But if you miss, the claws could puncture your beer can, spraying compressed hops, barley, yeast, and alcohol all over your expensive sofas and dinettes.   

       And costing you a beer.

"The beer can should now be hurtling towards you or bouncing about in your general direction. If it is hurtling toward you, duck and grab can, tap the top of the can for ~30 minutes to make the C02 redissolve; fail to redissolve it; open, towel off the spray, and swig."

       Expensive sofas and dinettes? We threw them out years ago [shapu], to allow better fields of fire for the Beer Gun. [+]

       The hurtling can can be dangerous. Especially if danced in the dark. In any case, a proposed modification would be a sharp, hollow projectile with a soft rubber base. The tether would be a hollow plastic tube. On striking the beer can, the projectile would lodge firmly. One could then sip beer from the handle of the gun. This would be a useful device for obese and lazy vampires as well.
