No. An oxygen tank punctured by a bullet will fly around wildly, but it does not explode like a bomb.
Incidentally, Mythbusters aired a "Jaws Special" episode, July 17, 2005, where they investigated this.

Can a nuclear power plant turn into a atomic bomb?
No, a reactor is operated at critical and a bomb at supercritical. Also reactors include safety shutdown systems that quickly make them subcritical stopping the reaction.However reactors can have steam explosions and hydrogen/oxygen explosions. These are physical and chemical explosions respectively, not nuclear.
Can you shoot a bullet through a tornado?
You probably couldn't shoot a bullet through a tornado, mostly because of the massive wind speeds that will turn the bullet off-course, and the fact that there is so much stuff flying through the air, that the bullet will hit something and stop.
What speed does a bullet return to earth?
If the bullet were shot perfectly vertically in a vacuum, it would reach its maximum altitude, then fall at a velocity of 32 ft/sec/sec. The terminal velocity would depend upon the altitude reached by the bullet, which in turn depends upon the caliber and load of bullet shot.
How did Rutherford explain his observation?
he described it as being as tho firing a bullet of a gun forward only for it to turn around and head back the other way
What is an argon regulator?
An argon regulator is something you attach to a tank of compressed argon. It controls the flow of argon gas so that you can turn the flow on or off and control with how much pressure it comes out of the tank
How do you open the tank valve on an oxygen cylinder?
To open the valve on an oxygen cylinder, you turn the valve.
What is a haf turn?
Generally a half turn is referring to turning a dial 180°. For example, to open an oxygen tank a half turn, you would need to turn the dial 180°.
Did the Apollo 13 land the moon?
no, the oxygen tank blew up so the craft had to turn around and head home
Can you induce oxygen into water?
Yes. This is commonly done in processing sewage waste, where the material first passes through an anaerobic tank in order to kill off all the aerobic bacteria. It then passes through a aerobic tank, which in turn kills off all the anaerobic bacteria. This tank is vigorously aerated to dissolve air (oxygen) into the material. In a fish tank, a small 'bubbler' is used to induce oxygen into the water for the fish to breathe through their gills.
How did the atomic bomb turn out?
It did what it was designed to do.
How do you change portable oxygen tank?
Transferring the regulator to the fresh tank:While supporting the tank, remove regulator from tank valve of exhausted tank: loosen the "T screw handle" and turn counterclockwise several turns, taking care to prevent the oxygen tank from falling to the ground.Check to be sure that the washer is in place on the inlet of the regulator.Remove white protective seal from the full oxygen tank valve.Slide the regulator over the top of the tank valve and place the two index pins into the two holes in the tank valve. Be sure that the two index pins properly fit into the holes.Turn the "T screw handle" clockwise until snug.Open the tank valve very slowly by turning the tank valve key one full turn counterclockwise.If you hear a leak:Turn the tank valve off and relieve all pressure from the regulator by turning the flow control knob to "2 or 3" and wait for the oxygen flow to stop.Turn the regulator off by turning the flow control knob to "O".While supporting the tank, loosen the "T screw handle" by turning counterclockwise several turns and then remove regulator from tank valve, taking care to prevent the oxygen tank from falling to the ground.Check the washer position and repeat the above procedure. If leak continues call your supplier.
How do you turn a boat into a tank?
What type of tank do you mean? A liquid container or a tank as in the army?
How did oxygen get in the US?
Plants turn carbon into oxygen.

Does a nuclear bomb turn people into dust?
nucler power that is it
Can you use a tank that was once a salt water tank and turn it into a regular fish tank?
The simple answer is yes.
Why should people care about the atomic bomb?
People should care about the atomic bomb attack because that is how WWII ended. It's a big deal considering that America was once allies with Japan and now they turn on the American citizens, so America decided to turn back on them and drop the Atom Bomb, or "Atomic Bomb".
