So, um, using a 5.56mm as a punch isn't a good idea??

It works great. Unless you slobber on the cigar and then the cap(s) end up in your mouth. (Same as a Punch).

Only downside is keeping your tongue from "exploring" the cap and gettin it all soggy. Maybe it's just me.. but anthing other than a cut causes "curious tongue".

For sure on this. I have tried other means like a toothpick, nails, small screwdrivers for eyeglasses, and I found myself tearing at the small hole with my tongue and ripping it open by the time I got half way thru the cigar. I cut it with my v cut or xicar now.

shell casings make great punches. Use the reamer on your Leatherman or Gerber to sharpen the inside and you are golden for a while.
Diff calibers for diff smokes.

loaded ammo.... not so much. Unless you want to punch a bad guys smoke.

Matches
Toothpicks
Bic pens
Car keys
Coat hangers
Pocketknives
Electrical wire
Nails

The smoke don't care how expensive your punch is, and neither do I.

You might get a real loose draw and that unmistakable cordite taste on the cap (beats a sweetened cap).
