What are the odds on a shotgun blast being able to cause a propane tank to explode (4-5 meters away)? The propane tank was one of the larger kind, sometimes found at gas stations for fill-ups (in case the OR would be different than the small kind) and the shootist was 4 meters away. Can you tell that this came up in a gaming session? ;)
