Shooting an oxygen tank

[Tiberius]

Should be a very bad idea lol. I vote for huge explosion! (Also for shooting cargo containers with ammunition inside, btw).

Explosions can result from cargo containers containing explosives. Not so sure about ammo.
Mostly the explosion happens if whatever caused the cargo container to pop also hits the explosives.

Yes, it's a must for my plans to weaponize oxygen.
I mean... in case we have nothing else to shoot...

Explosives explode alright!

As to oxygen, as I see the issue, an explosion requires fuel. There's no fuel in space, and oxygen should dissipate too rapidy in vacuum.

Plus we don't know if there are currently any other "filler gasses" (technically known as dilutents) or are we on the brink of suffering the fate of the crew of Apollo 1.

how come legos will self destruct on the ISS and start a fire.... they had to keep them in a glove box

"A lot of the work dealing with the small pieces had to be done in an enclosure, like a simple payload glovebox," Fossum said. "A simple structural one with plastic sides so you could see inside, but a glovebox so you don't have all of these little pieces getting loose and becoming either lost or potentially getting jammed in equipment or even becoming a flammability hazard."

Fire is usually not one of the warnings that people find on the side of LEGO boxes.

"It's a little hard to comprehend, but there are flammability concerns about the LEGOs," Fossum said.

For Furukawa, he had his hands full just working with the enclosure without having to worry about it combusting.

"The challenging part was using the thick rubber gloves in the containment system because it made me clumsy in building the LEGO space station," he said. "I needed to use the system to put many small pieces of LEGO under control in microgravity."

They have plenty of easily combustible plastic there. Plus the old oxygen generators on Zvezda use actual burning "oxygen candles".
