I found this reference to "bust a cap" in a 1951 Gene Autry novel. Gene Autry and the Golden Ladder Gang by W. H. Hutchinson. Whitman 2349
"I guess it is," said Pres as he regretfully fondled the stock of his rifle, "but I surelee hope that somebody gives me a little excuse to bust a cap in their direction."

Get the Immaculate Capmug. Hub caps is bro code for a woman's nipples or areolas. The circular nature of the areola along with the central nipple,or "hub",combined with the surrounding nipple bumps (montgomery tubercles or "auxillary nipples") tend to resemble the wheel or hubcap on a truck or car.This illusion is further enhanced if the nipple is pierced with a barbell making it look like a cotter pin in the "hub" place ther to prevent the nipples from flying off during wild,rough sex or exotic dancing. Along this line,puffy nipples could be referred to as "baby moons".

Get the death capmug. Attested in "True Grit" by Charles Portis, 1968, but most likely much older.
The derivation is probably from the percussion "cap," a small metal cylinder open at one end with an amount of shock-sensitive explosive, usually fulminate of mercury, used to set off the powder charge in a muzzle-loading firearm.
The modern derivation, however, is probably from the "cap gun," a toy firearm using paper "caps" containing Armstrong's mixture or a similar substance to provide the small explosions.
