All functional weapons have military utility.

Perhaps, though the Second Amendment was not intended to protect any and all artifacts which might conceivably be used as weapons. If it were, the government would be unable to restrict anything.

For example, a bottle of alcohol, with a rag stuck in the end, can make a reasonably effective incendiary weapon. Does that mean efforts to tax alcohol or restrict its production are unconstitutional?

I like the way you think!
