Wisconsin-based glass studio Benshot is responsible for the unique design of these conversation starting and bullet-embedded shot glasses.
Each and every 'Bulletproof Shot Glass' is custom-made and features an actual bullet sticking out of the side of each cup, appearing to almost be bursting through. Although it certainly makes for a peculiar decoration, the company wants to also let potential users know that its 1.5 ounce cups are perfectly safe to drink from. There is no need to worry about any lead or gunpowder seeping into your favorite spirit.
These bullet-embedded glasses aren't the only unique firearm-inspired piece of glassware by the company. The brand also makes a slanted version of its bullet shot glass, as well as a larger 7.5 ounce tumbler version for those looking for a bigger drinking vessel.
