What pressure would nitrogen have to be stored at to be liquid at room

True to a point...except that the LN2 is under ALOT of pressure and if

the
tank itself fails, it would get ugly very fast. So it's not a true
"explosion" in the chemical sense, but shrapnel from a hand gergade

doesn't
care what made it go boom, just that it went boom.
