Can you still buy a halon extinguisher?
Halon was outlawed (by the Coast Guard?) for marine use in fire
supression systems because of potential damage to the ozone layer --
or some other air pollution reason. Of course a ship-board fire causes
air pollution as well, but the greenies screamed louder than marine
interests.

I do not think anything has been found that can match halon's ability
to squelch a fire. Fill a 55 gallon barrel with halon gas and drop a
live hand grenade inside: you will hear a loud "pop." Not "kaboom!"
Wonderful stuff.
