Those 1kg fire extinguishers are pretty useless.
If they work at all in the hands of inexperienced accidental
fire fighters.
But they weigh 1.5 kg with bottle and fitting.
Even in a small country like Belgium, we have 5.5 million passenger cars on the road.
All mandatorily equipped with a 1.5 kg fire extinguisher, makes for an extra 8250 (metric) tons being shuttled around.
Think about the ecomod that'd be to delete them all ...
