At the field I play at we already have a rocket! Same size as a coke (well maby a little thinner) can but with for vert wings on the side, I guess I could be the only one in the states not playing at a getto field but its really not likely. We call them wing nutz because thats there name!

Well....

According to the official Sup'Airball catalogue, the wingnuts are called 'small rocket', a coke can is called 'cilinder', tea bag is a 'pyramid' and a witch's hat is called 'cone'. However, most countries, hell even some teams, have their own slang for these things. Over here we call the wingnut a hondekop, which means dog's head. Hey, they look more like a dog's head than a rocket!

As far as playing them goes, I'm a big guy, but I can still play them. I prefer not too, because I like bunkers I can stand up in, since I play back. But the secret is (as mentioned before) get your knees into the damn thing! Face towards it, sitting on your feet, and you can play both sides of the bunker without changing your position. You might want to tuck your head in if you're tall though...
Often these wingnuts/rockets/hondekoppen are in such a position that they offergreat opportunities for the player/team willing to use them. As far as mugging someone out of them goes, if you got proper support players, it's almost impossible to get blasted out of them! They are quite low, so your back guy should be able to see a mugger running up to you, and he should then be able to give him a dose of that thirteen-a-second-come-and-get-some-I-got-plenty-more-where-that-came-from-in-case-you-are-interested-okay-stick-your-arm-up-and-hand-the-ref-your-armband type stuff.

Confused...

Dorito-Satelite(another name for wingnut)
Dorito's so big that you can hide your ass from most players and still find angles to shoot even key bunkers.And if it's on the middle of the field and you make it there from the break you can expect to get bunkered so tell your back or the mid-coverin'ya to spray the hell out of the one side (I prefer the inside cause from the outside he might be a reason to stop the opponent tryin'to bunker you) and you wait from the other(the outter side which is the most likely side to get your ass bunkered).This way you can get some "easy" eliminations from the Dorito's side and guess what you're free to finish a tape move...(only flaw is if the opponents wait you might have 2 players:you and your cover losin'TIME...)
And Satelite for everything Nick said and because in many cases its in Mid-positions coverin'key bunkers (like the dorito on our field)
Also I love the big Rocket cause I get so many times eliminated there that I need to work much on my technique there-and cones cause I don't know much about how to play on'em and they make me playin'really tight.
I like less pepsis(coke cans,we prefer pepsi cause coke's similar to cone;-) They're too nice and on our field too strong,for me to stay for long on'em-and either way we need better players there!!!
Respect

That thing Jynx described is a somewhat rare bunker, so it dosent really need its own name. I know what hes talking about, its like a coke can with four pretty huge wings on it all spaced evenly apart around the can.

Like that but the can is bigger than the wings.
