Add a script to the bullet’s prefab, and write that inside :

function OnCollisionEnter( var col : Collision )
{
    if( col.transform.tag != theTankTag )
        instantiate( explosion );
}

Replace theTankTag by the tag of the tank, and add the var explosion with a prefab. Now, be aware that bullet collision might be tricky as they usually are quite fast, and so can easiliy miss a collision. Consider using raycasts if you have problems.

Add a rigidbody to the bullet and disable the rigidbody gravity.
