I occasionally find tank shells. Is there a way to use them as explosives, or anything useful besides firing them off cannons?
i thought any kind of ammo (as long as it was made of gunpowder) was explosive if you throw it on a fire tile.
I don’t think you can disassemble them.
Sell them to the trader and earn profit 
It’d be nice to disassemble the shells and get gunpowder out of them.
Useful for reloading, yeah?
Imagine the amount of gunpowder in those things.

There is no gunpowder in a tank shell. None at all. It uses a much more powerful propellant and is filled with a much more powerful explosive, most often comp B.
However, I think it would be nice to rig them into an IED. Either just build a device to remotely ignite the electric primer and leave it as is, or stick it in a large metal drum filled with sand and scraps of metal to create a massive cloud of shrapnel.
