Water and foam extinguishers are typically propelled with compressed air.

Dry chemical extinguishers with stored pressure are typically pressurized with nitrogen; cartridge operated extinguishers are typically pressurized with carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers are self-propelling and the gas is self-explanatory. Likewise with halon and other clean agents.

What will happen if you remove syphon tube from the CO2 fire extinguisher?
