Allow them to be hot enough to scald but not to automatically melt faces off. They're very useful for controlling monkeys or making lots of monkeymeat quickly.
Additionally, all damage from them is blocked if you wear a hat, a mask, or glasses. Why is this an issue again?

What makes most sense to me is:
Over-pressure: explode
Over-temperature: something melts
Whether the something is the plastic nozzle, or the whole-item. (The latter is easier).
I think melting the whole extinguisher, and turning it into a what is essentially a fire-fighting grenade is good.
Maybe it could become a code-child of handheld gas tanks - just thinking of the pressure code.

I havent seen a fire extinguisher melt yet. Does it explode and shoot the shrapnel and fire fighting foam everywhere or does it just melt and do nothing?
