M6 CN-DM Gas Grenade

The M6 CN-DM gas grenade is a riot control grenade with a cylindrical body made of tin plate. The body contains perforations or vents which are covered with squares of adhesive tape. When the grenade functions these patches are blown or burned off and the gas escapes. The chemical filler is composed of a mixture of CN-DM and a small amount of blank fire powder. Two seconds after the primer is fired, the grenade begins to generate a gas having a pungent odor. One second later the gas reaches full volume and the grenade functions for 25 to 35 seconds. This is a burning type grenade and does not explode.

The gas contained in the M6 grenade is a mix of tear and vomit gases. Anyone caught in the grenade's burst that is not protected by a gas mask or similar protective device must make a Vigor check at -4 or become Shaken until they can move out of the gas as they are overcome by heavy vomiting. After exiting the gas, the effects take ten rounds to wear off, after which the victim may recover from Shaken as normal.

Additionally, the cloud of gas created by the M6 grenade obscures vision. Attacks made through the cloud suffer a -2 vision penalty. The gas cloud remains for 2d4 rounds (4d4 in an enclosed space).
