Mini CAT? More like micro teensy kitten.

If a tank was ruptured in a wreck, you'd get a heckuva POP! No fire, but it would shrapnel everything within hundreds of yards.

Watch the video...that issue is spoken of, and dealt with.

"Mythbusters" put that one to rest on their shark-themed show. If you shoot a tank of compressed air you get a lot of wind and a tank with a bullet hole in it.

They use carbon-fiber for the tanks instead of metal. They said it splits and cracks to avoid the shrapnel risk.
