This would be a good project for "Mythbusters" (or an adventurous AK person who likes to blow stuff up) to test out!

Neither of the two that myself and a friend tried to implode in our youth were very interesting. Some of the stories must be exaggerated.
It would be interesting for Mythbusters. Hopefully they would be CRTs that Hawkeye wouldn't accept for rebuild.
Here's some anecdotal info.
