Protip: In video games, if you shoot the red ones they explode.
- dinkleberg 5y agoI know this is a tangent to the topic at hand, but this reminded me of an interesting video I felt compelled to share. It’s a video on the history of explosive barrels in video games https://youtu.be/LMYEE8lvlvA https://youtu.be/LMYEE8lvlvA
- sli 5y agoI knew this would be the Ahoy video before clicking. He makes some really excellent videos and nearly all of them would be at home on HN.
- JCM9 5y ago:-) This is one of these fake physics things that action movies and video games have put into our heads. In reality if you shoot a fuel can it will likely just leak out of the hole and maybe, if you’re lucky, a spark will be created that lights the fuel leaking out on fire. It almost certainly won’t “explode” as there’s no oxidizer in the can apart from a bit of air. Tannerite does explode on shooting but that’s because it’s a precise mixture of fuel and oxidizer that reacts easily on high speed compression.
