And consider the explosive force stored in a 350-700 bar (your
AI's number) pressure vessel that becomes brittle enough to go "bang".
That's one hell of a bang, even without the hydrogen itself explosively
combusting as part of the pressure release.

I've seen the results of a 200-bar scuba tank letting go.
And that's just a little 80-cubic foot tank filled with air.

How did this happen? In sweden, there is an epidemic of bombings for the past couple of years, since crazy drug dealing arabians are waging some kind of war with hand grenades, and car battery bombs in the bigger cities.
Would using scuba tanks be a cheaper way for them to bomb each other?
Also, how does a car battery bomb work? I'ev seen videos of exploding lithium batteries, but that does not look as efficient to me as just producing good, old, gun powder at home and making your own.
So with that in mind, what would be the advantage of a car battery bomb over regular gun powder plus a pipe?

Plus, the walls of the pressure vessel quite effectively become a
'fragmentation grenade' in the process of going bang.
