Myth Busters once tested some pressurized gas containers (they shot them with rifles). Turns out that they rarely explode - instead they become rockets and bounce all over the place as the gas jets out.

Any Navy/Coastie guy knows that. it's one of the coolest videos in Basic, right up there with "Syntheltic Line Snapback"
