How do you obtain the Halon Fire Extinguisher (black handle)?

Explanation:
Accessing a Halon extinguisher starts with freeing it from its mounting bracket. The extinguisher is secured in a bracket designed to keep it from moving during flight, so the first step to obtain it is to release the bracket’s latch and pull the extinguisher out of the holder. After it’s out, you would then proceed with the actual discharge steps (pull the pin, aim, squeeze) as a separate sequence. The other options describe actions that occur after you’ve taken the extinguisher, or are not needed to access it in its bracket.
