This here is a picture showing the entry hole, of a pellet shot from a pump-up pellet gun, into a full, shook up can of Seagram’s Ginger Ale. The actual entry point is around where the g is on the Seagram’s logo.

These are side shots of the can, just so you can see the deformities caused by the explosive force of the escaping pressure, caused by the pellet shot.

These are various shots, mostly to show that the top was indeed not opened.

These shots, in turn, show that the bottom was not punctured either.

This shot shows the ‘exit wound’.

These are close in shots, on the exit hole, made by the pellet

Before my dad and I enacted our little experiment, I surmised that it would explode. My dad however, surmised that it would merely fizz significantly, and squirt out of the bullet hole.

After the foamy carnage, we walked up and examined the thing. He looked down at it, and admitted, “Well, I take it back, I concider that exploded.” This confirmed my theory, that soda shaken up to a significant enough extent, and then with enough of an external force exerted to it, would explode. So in turn, dad picked up the can, and said, “I’d say this myth is confirmed.”
