Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if you shoot an oxygen tank in a refrigerator?

Shooting an oxygen tank stored inside a refrigerator with a high-caliber round like a .50 BMG can cause a massive explosion. The oxygen acts as an accelerant, leading to a destructive blast that destroys the refrigerator and can start a significant fire.

Is it safe to store oxygen tanks in a refrigerator?

No, it is extremely unsafe to store oxygen tanks in a refrigerator. Refrigerators contain electrical components that can spark, and the oxygen itself is highly flammable. Combining them creates a severe fire and explosion hazard, as demonstrated in this experiment.

What kind of rifle was used to shoot the oxygen tank?

The oxygen tank was shot using a Serbu BFG-50 rifle chambered in .50 BMG. This powerful caliber was chosen for its armor-piercing capabilities to ensure penetration of the oxygen tank.

What was the result of shooting a fire extinguisher in the fridge?

When a fire extinguisher was shot with a .45-70 rifle, it ruptured violently. The contents were expelled, and the force blew the refrigerator door open, demonstrating the potential hazard even before the oxygen tank was targeted.
