how the *%#@ do you open a chinese 7.62 spam can?

Try needlenose vice grips to grab onto the tab and then roll it like you would with the special key "that you don't have".

May work. It may be a pain in the arse to get the vice grips free of all that rolled up metal as well.

DOE! beat me to it by seconds!!!!
 
is it just cardboard packing in the ends of the can? I was thinking of using my cut off tool to just open the one side.
 
If it's the spam can with a lip you can rub the top of the can against coarse cement outside, the top eventually comes off after 5/10 mins of rubbing.

The old chisel and hammer works too.
