    I went down a rabbits hole on those things a while ago. There is a cool one where it gets crushed by a hydraulic press (another rabbit hole of those videos under my belt too) it's a good watch too.

    I think I've seen the one in the hydraulic press. It explodes after the press hits the tail, right?

    It exploded for sure, I don't remember how they set it up in the press though.
