Hi, I was wondering whether barrels/kegs of brandy, rum or whisky will actually explode if you hit an open one with a flaming arrow? Or does it at least go up in a huge flame?
You see those things in films all the time and I scoured the internet a bit for that sort of thing but couldn't find any real answer to this.
I mean, a molotov cocktail explodes in a large flame, but that has sort of been heated a bit before the fire actually hits the liquid, meaning there has been some vaporisation gone on. A keg that has been sitting in a camp or storehouse open or closed probably has not gotten that much heat/warmth.
Any ideas about this?
