    CO2 tank as a fire extinguisher?

    Wonder if anyone has ever thought of using their CO2 tank as a fire extinguisher. Seems like it would work. Obviously you'd need a different nozzle. Maybe have it set up as an extinguisher at all times and then change out the nozzle for tire inflation? IDK, im just spit ballin.
