garage sale for $1!  It is Halon but it is small.  My question is this...
This is one of those small car/boat sized ones--maybe 6 inch tall by two
inch diameter.  Is this sufficient for anything realistic?  Would I need to
be a sharpshooter or what?

Check first if the gauge shows any pressure. If it is in the okay range,
consider you will have about 20 seconds of discharge time for the
extinguisher, so take aim at the base of the fire etc., see my previous
posting on extinguishers. You will probably not be able to refill the
extinguisher once discharged.
