CN gas, or chloroacetophenone or phenacyl chloride, is a substance used as a riot control agent. ... It was investigated, but not used, during the First and Second World Wars, and was used by United States forces in Vietnam. Because of its greater toxicity, it has largely been supplanted by CS gas. CN is still supplied to paramilitary and police forces in a small pressurized aerosol can known as "Mace" or tear gas. Its use has fallen by the wayside as pepper spray works faster and disperses more quickly than CN. 3, record 4, English, - CN%20gas

Like CS gas, this [CN gas] irritates the mucous membranes (oral, nasal, conjunctival and tracheobronchial). Sometimes it can give rise to more generalized reactions such as syncope, temporary loss of balance and orientation.

[...] Dans les cartouches et grenades utilisées par les forces de l'ordre, il est stocké sous forme cristalline similaire à du talc. On y ajoute également des substances destinées à répandre le gaz aux alentours grâce à la formation d’un nuage de particules, celles-ci peuvent accentuer l'effet nocif du gaz et parfois provoquer des brûlures. [...] le CS est dangereux en milieu clos. Si plusieurs grenades de CS sont lancées dans une pièce, la quantité de gaz est telle qu'elle pourrait entraîner la mort par asphyxie(présence de monoxyde de carbone, disparition de l'oxygène et incapacité massive des voies respiratoires).

... CR ... Newer riot control irritant developed in England in 1962 by the British chemists Higginbottom and Suchitzsky. About 5 times more effective than CS [and] much less toxic than CS. CR is not used in its pure form (a yellow powder) but dissolved in a solution of 80 parts of propylene glycol and 20 parts of water to form a 0.1-percent CR solution. It is used in solution as a riot control agent. Eye pain, discomfort and excessive tearing occur with sometimes painful sensitivity to strong light or temporary blindness. Symptoms can persist for 15 to 30 minutes. Dubbed "fire gas" by the media because of the burning sensation it caused to the skin of rioters when used in Northern Ireland from 1973-1974. Authorized U.S. Army use in 1974. 3, record 7, English, - CR%20gas

It is slightly soluble in water and does not degrade in it. CR is usually presented as a microparticulate solid, in the form of suspension in a propylene glycol based liquid. Contrary to its common name, it is not actually a gas but is solid at room temperature. 1, record 7, English, - CR%20gas

Riot Control Agent, CS1. Specially formulated to prolong persistency and increase the effectiveness of CS. Unlike CS, CS1 is a free-flowing (micropulverized) agent powder consisting of 95-percent crystalline CS blended with 5-percent silica aerogel. This formulation reduces agglomeration and achieves the desired respiratory effects when dispersed as a solid aerosol. 2, record 8, English, - CS1

Riot Control Agent, CS2. CS blended with silicone-treated silica aerogel, which causes it to repel water. This treatment improves the physical characteristics of CS by reducing agglomeration and hydrolysis. This form of CS prolongs the effectiveness for both immediate and surface contamination effects.
