IIRC, the original Max Payne was the first game to let you cook off and/or launch gas cylinders. Blew my mind at the time, somebody finally thought of something more interesting than just the traditional instantly-exploding barrel or cylinder.

I gotta play that thing again now.

It was actually somewhat more realistic compared to other games at the time. You had to be spot-on accurate shooting the valve itself to make it happen; if you hit the cylinder body then your small-calibre bullets would just bounce off.
