First off you can put the bottle some distance away from the suspected 
hot area.

Secondly all the Paintball CO2 bottles that I have worked with have a 
over pressure blow out plug that will empty the bottle before it 
ruptures.  My son left a full bottle on the back seat of his car on a 
sunny day. the outside temp. was about 80 DEG  F. I am not sure what 
temp the inside of the car got to but the safety plug blew out and 
emptied the bottle. It was only a 9 OZ size.

If you have a situation where you have an occasional little fire that 
needs more then a wet rag, but its too small to use a big fire 
extinguisher that will cost $20 or more to recharge.  These can fill the 
gap.  But I still have 5, 10 and 25 LBS CO2 extinguishers in the house, 
basement laundry room and shop.  Cheaper then a $200 or more fire call
