The reason why it is not recomended for ANY confined areas (car, 
cockpit, etc) is because HALON displaces O2 which means if you are in 
a closed area and you spray it, you will suffocate to death. care 
must be taken. I wouldn't recomend anyone getting a HALON extig since 
you may have to be partially in the car to spray it (for dash fires 
for example). But then again that is IMHO. :)
