Saw "Mythbuster's" repeatedly shoot a barrel full of gasoline with multiple weapons. No explosion, only leaks. |
They later revisited the fuel tank myth and shot at it with tracer rounds. They got flames after a few try (They were shooting from too close at first), and agreed that had the tank been more intact (It was swiss cheese at that point), it would have exploded.
But conventional bullets aren't dangerous.
People, for some reason, are convinced that flammable materials are dangerous.
