[AusNOG] Gas Fire Supression

The UN codes don't tell the full story. It's an aerosol. The "solid" is a powder.

No personal experience but I see "stat x" listed here compared to some other halon substitutes:

Looks no worse than many other options - reinforces my desire not to be in a gas flooded DC when it fires though.
