question on mounting; which is better horizontal or vertical?

...in a true emergency, the last thing on my mind is saving my electrical system...
Actually the tool of choice for thieves are those automatic center punches. I'm told that they'll crack tempered glass with one push. What ever he/she/they used on my shell window did a number on it. Good for me that the tint didn't want to let go and they couldn't get in.snip.....
I have actually thought that those window breaker hammer things might be a good accessory to have.
Auto windows aren't too hard to break, I've done the front windows in a 4Runner before with my fist.
It seems to me that the $20 Home Deopt extinguishers could be lacking in quality. Especially in my rig where things bounce around, it is going to lead a rough life. Where can I pick up a good quality extinguisher?
Thanks

Must have been a bad window, already had some deep scratches, or something with the design.
The one I tested, I would confidently say no human could break it with their hands/arms. It took a hell of a whack from a ball-peen hammer.
Another time I had a Tempo with a broken window regulator, there were 2 pins through the glass but one was broken so it only pulled on one side. One day the glass was frozen up to the weather strip when I tried to drop it, and with the lightest touch on the window crank, it shattered. Glass is funny sometimes. It really all depends on any stress concentration in the glass, whether a scratch, chip, or impact from a sharp object. Once it starts, it's all over.
Best Extinguisher made.
Expensive but worth it.
Fire extinguishers should be inspected a mimimum annually. Visually inspect it, check the guagem and shake up the powder. I think its every ten years they need to be hydrostatic tested.
