1. A gripping member for a cap assembly of a medicament delivery device, the gripping member comprising:
a first leg extending distally from a proximal end of the gripping member, wherein the first leg includes a first proximal portion and a first distal portion, and wherein the first distal portion of the first leg includes a first medicament delivery member shield gripper that extends radially inward from the first distal portion of the first leg; and
a second leg extending distally from the proximal end of the gripping member, wherein the second leg includes a second proximal portion and a second distal portion, wherein the second distal portion of the second leg includes a second medicament delivery member shield gripper that extends radially inward from the second distal portion of the second leg, and wherein a distance between the first proximal portion of the first leg and the second proximal portion of the second leg is greater than a distance between the first distal portion of the first leg and the second distal portion of the second leg when the first leg and the second leg are in a first position,
wherein when the first flexible portion and the second flexible portion are in a first state the first flexible portion and the second flexible portion each have a radially outwards extending curvature, and
wherein the first flexible portion and the second flexible portion each have a triangular shape in a side view in the first state.
