They weren’t very effective, the solvents were outlawed, and the released halogens killed people that couldn’t escape and fire crews.

Could anybody tell me how the top, which I am assuming means something close to ‘fire extinguisher’ or ‘hand-held flame stopper squirter’, could wind up being interpreted as ‘hand grenade’? No clue what the language is on top, let alone being able to read it. Very curious.
