This video demonstrates the extreme danger of storing oxygen tanks in vehicles, especially when exposed to high-caliber gunfire. While smaller rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP failed to ignite the tanks, a .50 BMG incendiary round caused a massive explosion and fire within the Ford Expedition. Despite the severe damage, the vehicle's engine surprisingly started afterward, highlighting the unpredictable nature of such events.

Quick Summary

Oxygen tanks are highly dangerous to store in vehicles. While handgun rounds may flatten, .50 BMG incendiary rounds can cause massive explosions and fires. Even after severe damage, a vehicle's engine might still function, but the risk is extreme.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when you shoot oxygen tanks in a car?

Shooting oxygen tanks with standard handgun rounds like 9mm or .45 ACP typically flattens the bullets without causing an explosion. However, using high-caliber incendiary rounds, such as .50 BMG, can lead to a massive explosion and fire within the vehicle.

Are oxygen tanks dangerous to store in vehicles?

Yes, oxygen tanks are extremely dangerous to store in vehicles. They pose a significant fire and explosion risk, especially if punctured or exposed to ignition sources or high-impact events like gunfire, as demonstrated in this experiment.

Can a car still run after an oxygen tank explosion?

In this specific test, a Ford Expedition's engine surprisingly started after a severe explosion and fire caused by shooting oxygen tanks. This indicates that while the vehicle's interior was destroyed, critical mechanical components like the engine might remain functional, though this is not guaranteed.

What type of ammunition caused the explosion?

The massive explosion and fire inside the Ford Expedition were caused by a .50 BMG incendiary round fired from a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. Standard handgun rounds failed to produce such a dramatic result.
