HRD fire extinguisher

A fire extinguisher that carries the extinguishing agent in a sealed sphere or cylinder. When the agent-discharged switch is closed, an ignited powder charge drives a cutter through a frangible disc which releases the agent. The entire contents of the container is emptied in much less than a second.
