Alpo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If the police were to shoot a tear gas shell through the window of a 1500-sq-ft house, approximately how long would it take before people could go inside the house without wearing gas masks?

DeaconKC Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The gas will disperse pretty quick, BUT the clean up will be a total mess. Figure complete wash down of all walls, replacing carpets and any furniture and washing of anything contaminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yea, it makes a long lasting mess. Especially in fabric and carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Alpo is experienced at cleaning up apparently. He has already asked us about disposing of bodies and evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching NCIS. they see somebody moving behind the glass so they yell for him to come out. He doesn't. They lob a tear gas shell through the window. Gas comes billowing out the broken glass. He starts shooting at them. They return fire. Firefight for about 2 minutes. Then they all stopped and everybody goes in to find the dead bad guy. No masks. No protective gear of any sort. Just seem like that house would still be full of tear gas. I know it's television. But when people are shooting at them they put on bulletproof vests. Why wouldn't they put on gas masks before going into a house full of gas? Even on television? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hopefully they put on bullet resistant vests before someone starts shooting at them. yeah, it’s television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Maybe it depends on how used to it they got or how tough they wanted to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 First of all tear gas is not a gas it’s a very fine powder about as fine as diamond dust so doesn’t dissipate like a gas it settles everywhere. Walking through it days later will just stir it up. This mostly applies to CN and CS pepper spray in I believe an atomized liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The old tear gas loads used some sort of ignition when the hit inside. A lot of fires caused by the use of TG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
