Flaskbangs Available Again, Now In Black and OD: Skål!

Saturday, June 28th, 2025

Lexington, KY – In a move sure to be appreciated by everyone from bourbon sippers to rotgut swillers, Bad Moon Armory is happy to announce the renewed availability of the FlaskBang custom flask that proved so popular at the SHOT Show earlier this year. Effectively something between a custom flask and a double shot glass, the FlaskBang is a collaboration between BMA and Breach-Bang-Clear. Skål!

Flaskbang custom flask for whiskey and other liquors.

As anyone reading this (or who plays FPS games) will immediately recognize, the “tactical” custom flask takes its shape and name from assorted “Noise Flash Diversionary Devices.” It holds 2.7oz of your refreshing libation. Sláinte!

BLUF: Check out www.flaskbang.com 

These 2.7oz (80ml) flasks are roughly a double shot glass in capacity, and although they might seem to be a novelty item, they are decidedly not! The Flashbang double-shot glass features a food-safe grade phenolic liner. That means you can enjoy your libation of choice without that shitty, metallic rusted penny aftertaste! The cap sealed for a tight, leak free design and the top screws off for easy access.

These hold 80ml of liquid if you’re someone who cares about the metric system outside of weapon systems and cartridge sizes.

Because the Bad Moon Armory/Breach-Bang-Clear flaskbang doesn’t hold much liquid, it comes with special recommendations from Bad Moon Armory’s Chief Drinking Officer. To wit: It is recommended that flaskbang users use their flask with good whiskey* in lieu of coffee (this ain’t a thermos), energy drinks except as annotated below, or any sort of healthy fruit juice derivative of any kind whatsoever. 

These are not novelty items—well, mostly not. They are food-safe flasks lined with a food-safe grade phenolic liner. These shot glasses are for people who appreciate the appropriate, skilled application of violence and the really loud noises that typically herald a room entry. Prost!

The FlaskBang (or bang flask, as some folks refer to it) is currently available in black or OD green. The cap seals for a tight, leak-free design, and the top screws off for easy access. Note: You don’t need to pull the pin to take a drink, but you certainly can if you want. Saúde!

The flaskbang is a 3D printed body shaped similar to a

The flaskbang is an often overlooked part of the essential loadout. It’s a 3D printed body shaped similar to a “flashbang” NFDD but designed to carry approximately two shots of liquid.

May not be suitable for:

  • District Court
  • County Court
  • Divorce proceedings (mostly)
  • NJP hearing (mostly)
  • TSA Confrontations (mostly)
  • Anyone who thinks umbrellas go in drinks
  • People who don’t love M81 woodland
  • Sissies

They’re currently marked at 20% off the regular retail price. Kanpai!

Teams and units: For group purchases, contact Bad Moon Armory directly. We’ll hook you up on pricing. ¡Salud!

*Also suitable for use with vodka, tequila, kvass, cachaça, sake, arak, or (if you’re feeling nostalgic) Rip-Its.

Note: There’s no guarantee what could happen with the gropy-people pat down people in blue gloves, but we’ve had no issues with our flaskbangs while traveling. ALTHOUGH, we also disassembled them before packing. Worst case scenario, they pull you out of line and you throw back the contents before fighting to keep them from confiscating your stuff.

SÄRMÄ Cottage Rank Insignia from Varusteleka

Sunday, November 17th, 2024

Varusteleka is based in Finland and not only do they make great gear, but they have fun as well. Take for example these Cottage Rank Insignia’s.

They look and feel like genuine Finnish military rank insignia, but they are designed for civilian battlefields. They have the same simple hook and loop attachment system as issue clothing so you can sport them for fun.

Prince Colonel

Prince Colonel is the rank of the head of guard for the queen of Fog Valley. There is also a herbal liqueur with this name in Finland. This might also suit someone who is into stolen valor larping and in need of a made-up military rank.

The Sheriffs

These ranks have everything to do with the national drink of Finland, Jaloviina. The one star Jaloviina has been aptly named “Sheriff Bottle” by loving customers. The more stars there are on your Jaloviina bottle, the quality gets better but the overall taste somehow gets worse. Get “three stars” if you think you deserve cognac but can’t afford it – get “one star” if you’re attuned with the universe and know that life is all about pain and disgust.

Sauna Gollum ranks

Sauna Gollum is a delightful Finnish party game. The person chosen as Sauna Gollum goes under the sauna benches to poke the people sitting on them from underneath. The first one to stand up becomes the new Sauna Gollum. Great game among naked friends. Since the game is very demanding, you will start at the candidate stage and work your way to the esteemed Sauna Gollum rank through rigorous training.

Sauna Major

Sauna Major is the commander of the sauna troops, and the one in charge of heating the sauna and making sure that there is enough löyly, you know the magical steamy heat that we love here almost as much as sisu. So, if you master the art of heating a traditional sauna or simply love the experience like a Finn, this is a patch for you.

Grill Sergeant

Here’s a rank for all BBQ soldiers that protect their pits until the very end. May your grill never go cold.

Grill Master

As the highest non-commissioned officer rank in outdoor cooking, Grill Master oversees the Grill Sergeants keeping sausages in line on the grills – when he has time, that is, as he is very busy with his own beverage investigations, working on a case somewhere.

Made in Finland

These are manufactured by patch makers who also make insignia for the Finnish army. In other words, these are quality stuff!
