This looks like it could be put to some good uses. Tear gas would stop most unless they broke in wearing a gas mask

As for the ansul system - if it is what I am thinking it is(ansul systems are for putting out fires if I remember right); clean up is the hard part. That is why most restaurants that have them installed say they are a last resort to use on a fire and to use a fire extinguisher or something else first.
