Well, you better make darn sure the tube had large enough holes so that you didn't overpressurize it. A good side PVC tube with at least 1/2" diameter holes drilled every couple of inches SHOULD do the trick. You aren't going to get a curtain of CO2 for very long though. Personally, I'd recommend about a 10 lb. CO2 gas cylinder with a crank valve and a high pressure hose and place it into the tube rather than a fire extingiusher so you can regulate the discharge better. Depending on how long the tube is, you should get a nice curtain of CO2 for about 45 seconds.
Make sure you hold your breath before you walk through it and remember that a CO2 discharge is about 40 degrees below zero so don't dwell.
Good luck.
