18 hours agoI was a soldier who had to train with tear gas every six months.
Carry bottles of water and empty buckets with you. Also bring fireproof gloves. The grenades are extremely hot so you don’t want to pick them up bare handed. Once you’ve got the grenade drop in in the bucket and dump water on it until it is submerged. CS gas breaks down in water so this should neutralize most of the gas.
They aren’t caustic. If they were they’d melt your skin from exposure to the smoke. You wear gloves (nomex or something similarly heat resistant) because the grenades are really fucking hot. You don’t want to cook your booger hooks on a grenade casing.
