It's heavy... it's a chlorofluorocarbon or similar, very dense.  BTW,
if you're looking into a marine system, make sure of the activation
temperature.  We've got a Halon bottle (fifteen years old, I think) in
our family's sloop -- it's activated just like a sprinkler head, with
a low-melt solder; and I think the temp is surprisingly low.  I'm not
near the boat so I can't check.  :)
