fire and closed container full of flammables would result in an explosion right?
well apparently not in all cases. the usual method to blow fuel tanks for a quick and dirty fire bomb is a fuel tank on top of paper or clothes lit by welding tools or a zippo
but what if i have flares? i tried shooting the 5000 unit fuel tank with a flare rounds shotgun and it doesnt explode, but if i put paper under it then shoot it, youd get an explosion. even though it ignites paper it doesnt ignite a container full of fuel?
i thought id be clever with was carrying a 400 unit fuel tank on hand to counter a fireball wizard, so if i went down and got fireballed i could potentially catch the wiz out too. except fireballs dont create the same fire conditions as burning paper which means the fuel tank doesnt explode.
it would be nice for fires to ignite stuff in a consistent manner so if i were to play around with black powder i wouldnt need to use paper as an ignition source.
also matches heat up paper like a container rather than out right burning it.
