"but mostly because users litter the empty cylinders"
I found 4 such MT cylinders in a parking lot near me, I collected them to
see if there were any usable components like valves or vessels.
Nothing too impressive but too bad they're not refillable. DOT regs
probably make it too expensive to certify for reuse.

I do always like wild chem combos: like a lithium/thionyl chloride
battery. Yes some sourcing issues, though I did see a bottle of thionyl
Cl sell on eBay a few years back. It's a watched precursor in the
Chemical Weapons Convention as it can be used in nerve gas production.
You can buy thionyl chloride batteries, in the UK at least, but they are
the wrong type size and construction for rocketry use.
And nitrous is just about to be banned in the UK, in theory as a drug,
but mostly because users litter the empty cylinders.

Perhaps somewhat confusingly, the Mk 46 battery was the main
primary battery used in the Mk 37 torpedo (and not in the Mk 46smaller
torpedo,
which runs on Otto II fuel). Auxiliary power was supplied by a
but similar but rechargeable Mk 53 battery.
