[quote]Police say a Shakespeare, Ont., man was injured after a propane tank being used for target practice exploded.
Police were called to investigate the explosion after the man was taken to hospital Monday evening.
Police said two men in their mid-20s were at a residence just outside Shakespeare, in southwestern Ontario, when the tank exploded.
“They decided to take target practice and use a rifle to shoot at a propane cylinder,” said Const. Kees Wijnands.
“They took turns firing at the cylinder from a distance they thought was safe. After a number of shots, one of the rounds struck the tank, causing the cylinder to explode. Parts of the cylinder flew back, striking one of the males and injuring him.”
The man was treated and released at hospital.
The investigation is continuing.[/quote]

I feel ashamed to say I came from Southern Ontario now.
Well, I guess they learned an important lesson.

it's a GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY no propane tank should explode like that
That is so fucking dumb. Seriously.
Natural selection at work there.
Sometimes things like this can make you feel more clever than you really are.
Didn't the Mythbusters bust this myth?

Nothing that concerns you bill...as if anything ever concerns you.
But didn't Mythbusters bust that you can't make a propane tank explode by shooting it?
Nice thread

[quote]First, the Build Team decided to test whether it was possible to breach a propane tank with Bond's 9 mm handgun. They found that 9 mm rounds were not powerful enough to breach the tank, but shotgun shells and 7.62 NATO caliber rifle rounds were more than enough to pierce the tank. They then fired armor piercing rifle rounds at a tank filled with propane, but could not get the tank to explode. Not even tracer rounds were successful. Finally, the Build Team resorted to extreme measures in the form of high explosives and an 7.62mm Dillon Aero M134 minigun firing a mix of tracer and incendiary rounds at the same undisclosed location as "Shooting Fish in a Barrel". Both high explosives and the M134 were able to cause the propane tank to explode. The Build Team concluded the myth was busted as small arms were unable to explode a propane tank as depicted in Casino Royale.[/quote]

You genuinely expect a thread involving propane to go by without KOTH, also why has no one mentioned JC2 yet?

You missed the video i think.
This proves that playing video games makes you smarter. If they had played JC2, they would've known that shooting propane tanks is a bad idea.
