Of course you can't shoot the pressurized tank but you can't do that with petrol tank or a battery either.
ah, wait. i was talking more about the "against ev" people talking about cars getting on fire when literally 99% of cars (road or motorsport) ending up in fire are all petrol cars. EVs are relatively a new thing.
and about Hydrogen, they will not be using Hydrogen in open space so its flamable like a fuel tank or the components of a battery, as far as I understand
