Regardless of how you may feel about America's military industrial complex, chances are some items in your home we're made by the same companies that makes drones and fighter jets.
Fact is, many defense contractors make a bunch of other stuff and you probably never would have guessed the companies that make simple things like the items here also make advanced weapon systems.
Here are eleven items that you probably own that were probably made by weapons contractors.
Nearly every aluminum can is made by Ball...
Most of the cans in your house — whether they contain Coca Cola, peas, or beer — were probably manufactured by the nation's largest producer of cans of all sizes, Ball Incorporated.
They're also into plastics.

Ball also manufactures a huge amount of aerospace components — gimbles, lasers, cameras, and a ton of sensors — that can be found throughout everything in the Defense industry from the Predator drone to high flying space gear.
