#2.5	27 – 29 oz.	3 1/2 cups
#3	51 oz.	5 3/4 cups
#5	56 oz.	7 cups
#10	109 – 117 oz.	12-13 cups

simply the commercial/institutional size can >>>

practical for the dry goods type foods for a long term food storage program - also - can be a $$$$ saver for any of the canned foods if the prepper group involved is large enough to consume in one meal or has SHTF frig/freezer or canning preservation means available .....

*** a hand operated #10 can opener in the prepper supply inventory is not the worst idea - be readily able to open any SHTF salvaged food cans from an institutional size kitchen .....

Is that the pierce and crank thingy?

you can buy a big countertop mounted rig like the institutional kitchen have for around $50 - but the better $20+ hand crank can openers will do a #10 - a 2nd person to hold the can helps a whole lot ....
