Yup, tap o cap

PRODUCES A #11 ALUMINUM CAP
Using scissors, a pocket knife, or saw, remove the top and bottom from an undamaged aluminum bev- erage can. (The can must be aluminum. Check with a magnet if you are unsure). Cut the can down the middle and run it over a table edge to flatten it into a sheet. Clean both sides to remove residue and cut it into strips approximately 3/4” wide. Insert the aluminum strip in the feeding slot of the Tap-O-Cap body with the unpainted side up. Insert the punch carefully into the guide hole. Place it on a solid base and tap the punch downward with a plastic hammer or soft mallet. Use light taps to begin with until you get the feel required. Be sure to hold the strip squarely against the back of the slot. Extract the punch and invert it. The finished aluminum cap will fall from the exit passage. Reposition the aluminum strip for each successive cap. Avoid cutting into a previously cut hole. After repeated use, paint, aluminum or other residue may collect in the punch teeth and should be brushed out.
CAUTION — The punch must be handled with care. Damaged cutting edges will greatly reduce cap quality. Be sure to keep the knob screwed securely to the punch.
PUNCHED CHARGE
With the 3/16” charge punch furnished, punch out the charge discs from a roll of toy pistol caps. Center the dot carefully in the punch hole or the punch may detonate the charge. Always wear safety glasses when working with toy caps.
ALUMINUM CAP AND CHARGE ASSEMBLY
Moisten the 1/8” diameter wooden dowel to pick up and insert the punched charge in the aluminum cap. Be sure charges lie flat in the aluminum caps. This is very important, as wrinkled charges may cause hangfires. Use three discs to prime each percussion cap. One or two discs may be sufficient for your gun. The percussion caps are now ready for use. As with all percussion caps, keep the nipple hole of your firearm clean.
