Putting the exploding propane bottles to the test - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #56226 8 posts Started by Legit94GT
So in every cool movie ever some guys shoots a propane bottle with a shotgun and there is this huge explosion, right? wel being the colest redneck i am i wanted to test this out this weekend when i was staying at my cabin for my birthday... So We were using some 3' turkey loads(like 1500FPS or something like that) from about 20 feet out and couldnt even get it to puncture the tank:( maybe using some 3 1/2" mangum loads might have though...

So we gave up on that shot it with my glock and the propane tank shot up like 15 feet, but no fire... So we used road flares the next two times:) This is the better of the two:) enjoy, sorry for the large pictures put a 10.1MP camera is awesome:)

1 Bottle of Propane=2.59... 1 Road Flare=1.29 1 40. Cal bullet=.30

only 1 propane bottle?? man id try lining like 10 of them up with a fragment grenade or something to set them all off and watching that shibbs go down.
